The Best Things to Do in Canada
There are not too many moments where I can truly say that it feels like I’m standing on top of the world. A feeling that comes when I look around me and see nothing but mountain peaks and distant civilization below.
This is the feeling that I get when I stand on top of Sulphur Mountain in Banff, Alberta.
Unforgettable. [Read more…] about Standing on Top of the World | Thanks to the Banff Gondola
Last week, I had the opportunity to feel like a bullet. Nestled inside a black Olympic 4-person bobsleigh, me, my fiancee, another lady, and Canadian winter Olympic silver medallist Helen Upperton (our driver) went soaring down a 1500-meter ice track at more than 120 km/h.
It was a crazy feeling. A rough one as well. The air was a crisp -25 Celcius and while most people were indoors drinking hot chocolate, we were getting ready to pull 5 G-forces of pressure while trying to keep our heads tucked into our shoulders like a turtle.
Welcome to Must Do Canada, a site dedicated to the ultimate best adventures one should experience north of the border. Canada is a massive and diverse country ranging from the deserts of southern B.C. to the near 24-hour darkness of the Northwest Territories winters. You can go world-class scuba diving off the Vancouver coast and gaze at bright green northern lights in the mighty Yukon. You can test your french in Quebec City or become a cowboy at the one and only Calgary Stampede. You can watch for polar bears in northern Manitoba or follow Cabot Trail in beautiful Newfoundland. You can also take part in skiing many of the world’s best mountains in western Alberta.
The adventures are endless in Canada and that’s why we’ve come together to display the very best of the best. An easy way for you to see what’s available in this amazing country and the inspiration to get your involved.
We hope to complete a 90-day cross-country road trip from June to September 2013 to literally try as many of the coolest experiences out there and write about them personally to give you an in-depth perspective as to what it was like. We want to capture the beauty and contrast of it all by taking stunning photographs and displaying them for all to see and to share. We also want to create a fun community where you can come out and enjoy the adventures with us as well as recommending some local favourites along the way.
The site is just as much for Canadians as it is for world travellers who are coming to visit. For Canadians who want to see just what’s offered in their backyard and for the distant traveler who has always dreamed of visiting this northern frontier.
Whether your arriving in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, or St.Johns; Whether your looking to go up north to the Yukon or Nunavut; Whether your looking to ski the Rocky Mountains or try Montreal’s famous smoked meat or poutine; You’ve come to the right place.
Welcome to Must Do Canada!
