Canada Holidays - Almost On Your Doorstep!

Canada is such a vast country to visit; it's hard to know where to begin. Most Canada holidays will need to be concentrated on a certain area. It's a land of contrast with mountains, prairies, cities and the Great Lakes. The culture is derived from Britain and France and French is spoken as a first language in some quarters. It really is the nation of wide, open spaces.

Ottawa is the country's capital and the House of Commons and the Senate is situated at Parliament Hill, where visitors can go on guided tours. The Museum of Civilization contains exhibits on the history of the country and there is a children's museum within the main complex.

Children will love the Science and Technology Museum too, which includes some very big train locomotives. Toronto is the largest city in the country and has many attractions.

The Art Gallery of Ontario is the largest gallery in Canada and exhibits the largest collection of Henry Moore's works in the world.

The Ontario Science Center is popular with families on Canada holidays and has several interactive displays.

Canada is also famous for the Great Lakes, which traverse both Canada and the United States. It is an area of great beauty, used for recreation and commercial interests.

Several National Parks occupy islands on the lakes. The five lakes are Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world and Lake Erie is very popular with sport fishing enthusiasts. Lake Michigan is the one lake that lies completely within the United States and is known for its beautiful beaches.

Nova Scotia, on the East Coast, contains one of the world's last, true wilderness areas. The majority of the terrain is lakes and woodland.

The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is particularly scenic and is home to several wildlife species, including deer.
