Canada Airport Guide
Resorts & Excursions
Canada offers a huge range of attractions, from large cosmopolitan
cities such as Montr?al and Toronto in the south to isolated
Inuit (Eskimo) settlements dotted around the frozen shores of
Hudson Bay. The contrasting Pacific and Atlantic seaboards and
the thousands of lakes and rivers of the interior provide superb
watersports and fishing. The Rocky Mountains and other ranges
offer breathtaking scenery on a grand scale. Some of the best
resorts are in the series of great National Parks which preserve
the wildlife and forests of Canada in their virgin state. Those
in the north provide basic amenities for tours of the beautiful
northern wilderness. A taste of the pioneering west can be had
in the rich farming and grain regions of central Canada. Further
north is the New Frontier of Yukon, the Northwest Territories
and Nunavut. For a more detailed description of the historic
sites and natural attractions of each region see Resorts &
Excursions in the individual Provinces/Territories sections.
