The Prairies
When the wind whips up over the open plains, oceans of tall grasses ripple in waves, their feathery tops tickling your thighs. A colourful patchwork of crops stretches out beyond the horizon under a never-ending sky, suggesting boundless possibility. You can’t wait for the sunset to sweep across this idyllic expanse. Somehow you know, the prairie sky is sure to put on quite a show.

Probe the pastoral calm and you stumble upon dynamic clusters of urbanity. Regina hums with the cheerful voices and bouncy footsteps of fun-loving city folk. Winnipeg is a bustling hub of sophisticated cultural delights. Keep your eyes on the sky – the same resplendent sun, sets here too.

Northern Canada Regions travel

Northern Canada
Here, the sun is either your constant companion or long lost friend. The bite of cold has long since disappeared as you track across the snowy plain. The howl of a lonely coyote floats across the open tundra on a mellow gust of wind, adding melody to the rhythm of your breathing, to the ambient noise of sled scraping along hard-packed snow.

Native legends animate the living landscape. The trailblazing spirit of Klondike pioneers still inhabits Gold Rush towns like Whitehorse and Dawson City. Stony inukshuks dot the landscape marking the spot where others have tread, like ghosts of travelers with whom you cross paths in space, if not time.
Make no mistake, the Arctic lives and breathes under its still surface. When shimmering curtains of light flutter hypnotically in the night sky, you know you believe in magic.

Canada’s East Coast Regions travel

Canada’s East Coast
The tide surges in, resolved to fight its way back into the bay. You run up the steep staircase, hoping to beat the rising sea to the top of the cliff. A yelp as a squirt of water splashes your side. The sea waits for no one. Folks here know its rhythms, live by them. Its sway tells fishermen when to cast their nets, when to retreat. It keeps tempo for the old-timer playing the fiddle and the young dancer stepping to an old Gaelic jig.

In rollicking pubs from Halifax to St. John’s, the infectious cheer of hearty maritimers buoys your spirit and raises the roof. Conversations come as easy as a pint of local brew sliding down the bar. You can’t remember the last time you sang so loud or laughed so hard.

Central Canada
Storefronts clamour for your attention in a multitude of languages. Tides of people going about their day sweep you along the busy streets. From the home-style sausages smoking on sidewalk grills to the white napkin power lunches of Bay Street, Toronto buzzes with perpetual activity and ambition.
In the national capital of Ottawa, red-coated guards march past lofty parliament buildings with choreographed precision. Grand boulevards designed to receive eminent dignitaries, like you for instance, lead the way to the nation’s treasures.

A culinary jaunt through the cozy hamlets of the Eastern Townships yields delectable new discoveries. Among them, a lovely Chardonnay that you proudly present at the Montreal bistro where you bring your own wine and the waiters remember your name. After dinner, you revel in its blissful after-effects as you stroll the lively streets. Perched on the edge of a quiet fountain for a late-night chat, you finally understand the meaning of joie de vivre.

Mountains/West Regions travel

WorldTravelDB.com — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:59:57 +0000

Mountains / West
Air, cleansed by regular Pacific rain and billions of leafy filters, rushes into your lungs, stimulating each nerve from the inside. You’ll need every one of them at attention before you charge headlong down Whistler’s powdery slopes or start the grueling climb up the rocky face of the Chief. Never backed down from a challenge before, shouldn’t start now.

You take the reins in Calgary and head into the Badlands under a blazing Western sun. A capable horse leads you through the Martian landscape of striped sandstone hoodoos. You trace your fingers over the bony silhouettes of ancient reptiles stamped into the cliffs. The past speaks through your hands.
Back in Vancouver, glossy towers gleam – beacons for authentic sushi and the latest trends from the Far East. Not an unfit creature in sight at the beach or in the park. All muscle, no hustle. Wish you could lie here forever, squinting at the sun, imagining fluffy clouds into animal shapes while cool waves lick the sand from your toes.
