Stories & Ideas

Aboriginal / First Nations / Inuit
About Canada’s native people.
culture & arts
distinct Canada
If the US is a melting pot, Canada is a patchwork quilt. First Nations and Inuit? Yes. Cowboys and Caribbean communities? Check. Acadians, Ukrainians and French-Canadians. You bet. It’s all Canada. Distinct Canada looks at the many cultures that make up our proud, progressive nation.
fashion
There’s no shortage of fashion-forward, eco-conscious and culturally diverse designers whose creations reflect our spirit and our distinctly Canadian lifestyle. Dress code, required.
food
Eat, drink, savour, sip — Canadian-style.
gay/lesbian/LGBT
The “gaybourhoods” of Toronto, ON, and circuit parties in Montréal, QC. Snowy nuptials atop Whistler, BC, and outdoor adventure with Yukon Territory’s Yukon Pride. Canada is home of the free and the gay.
green travel
It’s today’s buzzword: how to leave a light carbon footprint on the planet. “Green travel” is about having fun and feeling good about doing it.
golf
Teeing it up in the True North.
lists
The dreamiest place to watch the sun go down? The most over-the-top “glamping” spots? Canada’s top wonders? We’ve scoured the country and skimmed the cream. Here, our lists of the best.
lodging / accommodation
Trés-luxe log cabins in the Arctic, slumbering on pelts in Québec’s hotel of ice, a chalet in the Rockies, numerology and incense in Toronto— you get the picture. Click you heels. There’s no place like Canada. There’s no place…
music
The Canuck music scene revealed.
on being Canadian
If you think Canadian = je ne sais quoi, click here. This is about who we are and why we’re special. (And it’s not just ‘cause we say “aboot.” Know what we’re saying, eh?)
spa/wellness
Relax, unwind, detox and find your inner bliss.
sports
In a country that can boast about killer waves, alpine drops and snow-covered peaks all year long, it’s surprising we’re so modest. Not any longer. Ski, skate, sled and swim, or hike, heli-, and hoof your way across the great outdoors in the Great White North.
things you didn’t know about Canada
Did you know… Canada has conflict-free diamonds? That we have icebergs thousands of years old? That we’ve got totems and Cirque du Soleil and aurora borealis? Who knew? Now, you do.
weekend
The perfect two-day get-away — in Canada, of course.
wilderness / out there
Getting way out there is our specialty. We do Big Nature like nobody’s business.
wine & spirits
Canada’s home-grown libations.
women-only travel
Gals on the go.
