Experience
East Coast Canada
F
rench-speaking Canadians, cobblestone streets, historic buildings, polar
bears, beluga whales, dazzling northern lights and national and provincial
parks are all part of the mix that makes the Eastern Provinces, from Manitoba
to Nova Scotia, so rich in heritage, culture and diversity.
Manitoba sits between the Western and Eastern Provinces of Canada and
boasts a haven for outdoor wilderness experiences and wildlife viewing,
especially the polar bears of Churchill. The landscape goes from prairie
grassland in the south and west, lakes and forests in the east to the arctic
coastline in the extreme north.
From the powerful Niagara Falls to the seat of Parliament, the vibrant
metropolis of Toronto to the Canadian Mounties on parade in Ottawa, you
can enjoy many of the best museums and cultural facilities of Canada in the
Province of Ontario.
Bonjour Québec… not only will you see street signs in French and hear French
speaking Canadians, but cities that blend the old with the new. In Montréal,
above ground enjoy Old Montréal with cobbled streets, outdoor cafés
and English pubs, then go underground and be amazed by the network of
walkways connecting boutiques and businesses. Québec City is a walled city
and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander the charming narrow cobbled
streets, stop at a patisserie or chocolaterie and dine on French cuisine.
Then on to the rugged coastline and colourful fishing villages that make
Atlantic Canada’s Nova Scotia, a stunning outdoor paradise.
