Northern Lights in the Northwest Territories
When the nights are dark in autumn and winter, the northern lights come out in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The Aurora dances and swirls, slower and then faster, mingling with the stars in the night sky. Visitors on aurora tours come halfway around the world to see these dancing lights.

Saskatchewan Spas
Pamper yourself with a visit to the Manitou Springs Mineral Spa at Manitou Beach just outside Watrous. Its naturally buoyant waters contain many of the same healing minerals that are found in the Dead Sea. This full-service spa offers every possible indulgence you can imagine.

The Appalachian Range in New Brunswick
Rising majestically along the western side of the province toward Chaleur Bay, the Appalachians are a mantle of wondrous natural beauty. Canoe the spectacular lakes and rivers that the mountains frame. Hike the endless trails that take you to lookouts and vistas that are something more than breathtaking… they are inspiring.

Epic Canadian Road Trips
"The windows are down, the wind in your hair. You’ve got classic Neil Young cranking on the stereo and Rolo wrappers on the seat. Days pass and the scenery rolls by: gentle farmland, endless highway, glacial peaks, dramatic coast, brooding forest. Canadian road trips are epic. Just look at the size of the country—second-largest in the world after Russia. Take it from Mile Zero in the Northwest Territories to a lobster shack in New Brunswick, or anything in between. Road tripping is the quintessential travel tale. The only question is where to?"

Birding in Nunavut
Beginning in June, millions of birds arrive in Nunavut. Its rugged cliffs and tundra – unspoiled and undisturbed for millennia – provide true sanctuary to huge populations, as many as 50,000 nesting birds in one location. A good guide and a little planning ensures guaranteed encounters with snowy owls, sandhill cranes, gyrfalcons (including the white phase), jaegers, loons, plovers and more.

Street Shopping in Toronto
Toronto’s vibrant sense of community among specific neighbourhoods across the city has created the continent’s best street-level shopping. Peruse the windows of Bayview Village, the high-end boutiques of Bloor-Yorkville, the trendsetting shops of Queen West or the neighbourhood stores of Bloor West Village. Dig for amazing vintage finds in Kensington Market or enjoy a variety of distinct uptown shops in the Yonge/Eglinton area.
