Provinces

Canada is thirteen provinces and territories, and every one of them is on this page - from British Columbia’s rainforest coast to Nunavut’s Arctic tundra. Most travel sites cover a handful of famous corners; we are building a guide to each of the thirteen, grouped by region so you can see how the country fits together.

Every guide answers the practical questions first: what the province is actually like, which places justify the flight or the drive, how many days to give it, and when to come. Guides marked as in the works are being researched and written - the index shows the whole country from day one.

The West

British Columbia

Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler, the Sea to Sky road, Okanagan wine and Pacific Rim surf.

Alberta

Banff, Jasper and the Icefields Parkway - the Canadian Rockies at full scale, plus Calgary and the Stampede.

The Prairies

Saskatchewan

Living skies, Saskatoon berries and grasslands where the horizon does the talking.

Manitoba

Winnipeg at the crossroads and Churchill on Hudson Bay - polar bears, belugas and northern lights.

Central Canada

Ontario

Toronto, Ottawa and Niagara Falls - Canada’s most visited province by a wide margin.

Quebec

Montreal, old-town Quebec City and a food culture all of its own, in French first.

Atlantic Canada

New Brunswick

The Bay of Fundy and the highest tides on Earth, plus Saint John and acadian shores.

Nova Scotia

Halifax, lobster wharves and the Cabot Trail - one of the world’s great coastal drives.

Prince Edward Island

Red-sand beaches, Green Gables country and a national park that fits a long weekend.

Newfoundland and Labrador

St. John’s, icebergs off the coast and Gros Morne’s fjords at the edge of the Atlantic.

The North

Yukon

Whitehorse, Klondike gold-rush country and aurora skies most of the winter.

Northwest Territories

Yellowknife under the aurora oval - some of the most reliable northern lights on the planet.

Nunavut

Arctic tundra, Inuit culture and true expedition territory - Canada at its most remote.
