An Introduction to Canada
When you think of Canada you think of vast, open expanses, blanketed in pure-white snow. You think of forests and fjords, of lakes and peaks, but there is so much to see and do than just the untouched landscape, which is why Canada is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Canada is big. Like really big. It’s the second largest country in the world with the longest coastline. But 90 per cent of Canadians live within 160km of the US border, making most of the country completely untouched by human hand.
Due to its large amounts of snow you'll be hard pushed to find a better ski resort than those of Banff and Whistler. And it's not just skiing. Quality of life is extremely high in Canada with Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver all being voted in the top 10 ‘most liveable cities’.
So why don't you see what all the fuss is about and take the trip to Canada...
