Snow, Glorious Snow!
Winter Travel in Canada
By Michele St. Martin
Don't mention the cold of winter and the long dark days if you go to Quebec City for Winter Carnival. Just join in the spirit of the natives who are doing their best to push it away with an abundance of joie de vivre!
"I would choose Corner Brook, Newfoundland as a great family destination," says Shelley Hibbs-Blackmore of Codroy Valley, Newfoundland. "Corner Brook has Marble Mountain, which is the best skiing east of the Rockies. For kids, it has various parks and hiking trails, not to mention the tube sledding." Hibbs-Blackmore notes that along with indoor sports such as arena skating, Corner Brook has shopping malls aplenty. "I think that Corner Brook, Newfoundland is a very family-oriented area."
"Churchill, Manitoba is famous for its polar bears that wander through the town," says Crandall. "Visitors can go on the tundra in special vehicles and observe the bears from close up. Bird watching, dog sledding and whale sighting are popular too. Churchill is a small Arctic seaport on Hudson Bay in Northern Manitoba. The Northern Lights (aurora borealis) can also be viewed there, and aboriginal experiences and arts and crafts are also available. Visitors can fly or take a train to the town. A small number of wilderness lodges, small hotels and [Bed and Breakfasts] are available." 
No matter how wild or tame your sense of fun, you can find it right at home in Canada. Whether you'd prefer to jump into the snow in your skivvies in Quebec City, walk about the streets during Ottawa's Winterlude, ski breakneck down a mountain in Lake Louise or shop until you drop in Banff, your perfect adventure is waiting for you in Canada this winter.
