The world’s second-biggest country has an endless variety of landscapes. Sky-high mountains, glinting glaciers, spectral rainforests and remote beaches are all here, spread across six times zones. It’s the backdrop for plenty of ah-inspiring moments and a big cast of local characters. The big characters such as polar bears, grizzly bears, whales and everyone’s favourite, moose are part of the attraction.
The arts are an integral part of Canada’s cultural landscape. You’ll hear it in the music, see it in the arts and taste it in the cuisine.
