 This
immense country covers half of North America and borders
the United States, Alaska and three of the four existing
oceans. It also spans across six different time zones,
with Ottawa as its capital and French and English being
the two official languages due to its past rule under
both the French and the British.
Canada probably offers the most complete range of
choices for tourists in the world, from skiing, sailing,
wildlife viewing to a wide range of museums and cultural
sites as well as modern cities full of activities and
events.
There is just so much to do and see in Canada throughout
its various regions; the vast expanse of forests in the
north, the striking beauty of the countryside in the
west, the typical European charm of the eastern towns
and the south with its numerous national parks.
One may choose from the diverse landscape Canada offers
with its Arctic tundra in the extreme north where the
polar ice cap lies to the Great Lakes of the south. The
Rocky Mountains are situated in the west of the country
where striking views and a wide expanse of forests can
be admired, trekking; skiing and wildlife watching are
favorites here. The Niagara Falls are world famous and
offer a breathtaking experience.
Canada stretches throughout ten provinces and the
climate varies considerably depending on the areas
visited. Generally during the summer thunderstorms are
quite frequent and occasional tornados can occur,
especially during may to September. Winters can get
extremely cold to the north and rainfall is frequent
near the west coast.
