Destination Canada

Canada's vastness and scale make it challenging to know fully. Its eastern cities of Toronto and Montreal are globally renowned. French-speaking Quebec feels more European than anywhere else in North America. In the far west, Vancouver, with its backdrop of mountains, forests and inlets is one of the most liveable places on Earth. But it's the wilderness that draws so many back to the world's second-largest country. Whether it's searching for polar bears in Hudson Bay, climbing or skiing down soaring peaks in the Rockies or staring across the vast emptiness of the prairies on a summer morning, Canada is unparalleled when it comes to living life outdoors.
