Take a moment, click on the photos and take a quick trip across Canada, beginning with British Columbia and ending with the Yukon.
1) British Columbia: British Columbia's coastline features rugged shores, ancient forests, and diverse marine life. It is home to many Indigenous communities, including the Coast Salish, Haida, and Tlingit, whose cultures shape the region's identity and traditions.
2) Alberta: The Alberta Rockies boast rugged beauty, featuring turquoise lakes, glaciers, and snow-capped peaks. Banff and Jasper National Parks offer a chance to connect with nature through hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring vast, scenic valleys.
3) Saskatchewan: Saskatchewan is home to a thriving bison population. In Prince Albert National Park, you can see these "icons of the prairies" roaming free, as free as they have been for millennia—a testament to conservation efforts and the province's rich wildlife heritage.
4) Manitoba: Manitoba's Arctic landscape supports thriving polar bears in Churchill, the polar capital of the world. Indigenous Cree, Métis, and Eastern European immigrants, notably Ukrainians, have significantly shaped the province's cultural heritage.
5) Ontario: Toronto is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, with over 50% of residents born outside Canada. From Chinatown to Little Italy, Greektown to Kensington Market, the city celebrates diversity through food, festivals, and community events.
6) Quebec: Québec City is the only remaining walled city in North America. Historic fortifications surround its Old Town. The city's cobblestone streets, architecture, and iconic landmarks like the Château Frontenac create a rich European ambiance.
7) New Brunswick: New Brunswick features a diverse landscape with swift-flowing rivers, rolling hills, and rugged coastlines, notably the Bay of Fundy and its highest tides in the world. Indigenous, Acadian, and British influences shape its cultural identity.
8) Prince Edward Island: Rolling hills, red-sand beaches, and working fishing villages dot Prince Edward Island's gentle landscape. Rich in history and literature, PEI is the setting for Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and boasts a strong Celtic and Acadian heritage.
9) Nova Scotia: Nova Scotia's 400-year fishing, sailing, and shipbuilding legacy shapes its cultural identity and deeply influences its people. The Cabot Trail offers stunning views of the Cape Breton Highlands and showcases one of the world's most scenic drives.
10) Newfoundland and Labrador: Newfoundland's vibrant "Jellybean Row" in St. John's showcases its colourful architecture. The province's heritage is shaped by people of Irish, English, and Indigenous roots, marked by warm hospitality and rich storytelling traditions.
11) Nunavut: Nunavut, Canada's northernmost territory, boasts Arctic landscapes, tundra, and fjords. The Inuit people have thrived here for thousands of years, cultivating a rich culture of whaling, hunting, throat singing, and drum dancing.
12) Northwest Territories: The Northwest Territories is a true wilderness with roaring rivers like the Mackenzie and Nahanni, vast stretches of tundra, and towering mountains. The region has been home to Indigenous communities such as the Dene and Inuit for thousands of years.
13) Yukon: There are strange things done in the midnight sun / By the men who moil for gold; / The Arctic trails have their secret tales / That would make your blood run cold; / The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, / But the queerest they ever did see / Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge / I cremated Sam McGee. — Robert Service - The Cremation of Sam McGee
