• Cape Breton Highlands National Park - One of Nova Scotia’s most enchanting places, where the mountains meet the sea as the world- famous Cabot Trail weaves through 950 square kilometres (366 sq. mi.) of magnificent highlands and coastal wilderness in northern Cape Breton. The Highlands offer an abundance of winter activities, from hopping on the gondola and skiing the amazing slopes of Cape Smokey to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on one of the many trails. For snowmobilers, the highlands offer an extensive winter trail system you need to see to believe. Speed past spectacular views. Drive up to cozy eateries and welcoming accommodations. Find your pack of snow-loving adventurers as you cut a powdery path across highland mountains and coastal plains to explore Cape Breton Island in all her white- dusted glory. In the warmer months, the park offers 26 hiking trails (from easy strolls to challenging climbs) and camping for families and adventurers alike. Plus, the Highlands offer amazing off-road trails for ATVs, world-class golf and cycling, incredible wildlife, relaxing beaches, breathtaking look-offs, and more. Bordered by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean, you are never far from a delicious feast of lobster, fresh from the sea around you.
• Quebec has North America’s sole walled city - The ramparts of Quebec City have a rich history beyond mere decoration. Originally built by French and British colonists from the 17th to the 19th centuries, these fortifications served as a formidable defence against invaders. When in Quebec, you must try Poutine, a popular dish that originated in Quebec. It is made with French fries that are topped with cheese curds and covered in gravy. This combination of flavours has made poutine a comfort food favourite among Canadians. • Northern Lights - Canada is one of the premier destinations to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. This natural light display paints the night sky with vibrant colours, creating a magical experience for anyone lucky enough to see it. The best places to catch this spectacular show are in Canada’s northern regions, including Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The lights are most visible during the winter months when the nights are long and dark. Many travelers visit remote areas and stay in cozy lodges specifically to view the Northern Lights. Some even participate in guided tours that offer insights into the science and legends surrounding this phenomenon.
