By Matthew G. Bailey 2 Comments

This is Guysborough, a small town in Eastern Shore Nova Scotia.
Guysborough, Eastern Shore Nova Scotia.

Located on the northeastern coast of Nova Scotia, east of Halifax, the Eastern Shore is a beautiful rural slice of Atlantic Canada that’s home to charming villages, incredible beaches, outdoor adventure, history, and more. It also sees far fewer visitors, which makes it a great place for those wanting a quieter “off-the-beaten-track” destination.

From Guysborough and Canso to Sherbrooke and Lawrencetown, Eastern Shore Nova Scotia is full of pristine wilderness, historically-themed attractions, authentic fishing communities, and loads of stunning natural attractions. Paddle to hundreds of islands, surf the waves of Martinique Beach, or just relax in one of the many lodges and heritage homes while enjoying award-winning whisky or local beer.

The Eastern Shores of Nova Scotia also make a great road trip, as it lies between Halifax and Cape Breton, giving you plenty of opportunities for a multi-week Maritime adventure. So whether you’re looking for some adventure or just looking to kick back and relax, we’ve got you covered in this travel guide to the best things to do in Eastern Shores Nova Scotia.

32 of the Best Things to Do in Saskatchewan

By Matthew G. Bailey 42 Comments

Grasslands National Park is one of the best things to do in Saskatchewan.
Embracing the beauty of Grasslands National Park in Southern Saskatchewan.

Last Updated: October 18th, 2022

One of only two landlocked provinces in Canada, Saskatchewan is widely known for its flat prairie landscapes, but it’s also home to chiselled badlands, thick boreal forests, sand dunes, and thousands of lakes. It’s very much an “outdoor” province as it doesn’t have any major metropolitan centres. However, it does have some cool cities and towns, including Saskatoon, which has one of the youngest demographics in Canada.

Located on the Western side of Canada, east of Alberta, Saskatchewan is often overlooked during a cross-Canada road trip. But that’s a big mistake. After exploring Saskatchewan a lot during the last five years, it’s become one of our favourites, thanks in part to the incredible landscapes of Grasslands National Park, the bustling food scene of Saskatoon, and the beautiful lakes such as Waskesiu in Prince Albert National Park. You’ll even find old tunnels below the town of Moose Jaw that were used by Al Capone back in the prohibition days, fascinating indigenous culture, and sand dunes in the north that look like something you’d find in Saudi Arabia. Those looking for outdoor adventure away from the crowds, or a cool, hip small city scene will love exploring Saskatchewan.

Whether you’re planning to explore the cities, the badlands, or everything in between, we’ve got you covered in this comprehensive travel guide to the many things to do in Saskatchewan!

21 Awesome Things To Do in Saskatoon

By Matthew G. Bailey 3 Comments

Driving a moped along the South Saskatchewan River in downtown Saskatoon.

Things to Do in Saskatoon last updated: October 12th, 2022

As the South Saskatchewan River winds through the city, Saskatoon is buzzing with an infusion of new restaurants, bars, breweries, and attractions. Locals who had once left to attend school or experience big cities like Vancouver and Toronto have moved back, bringing with them a new sense of pride.

It’s really quite beautiful, with some calling Saskatoon the “Paris of the Prairies”. Multiple bridges cross the wide river, while an 80-km trail provides a scenic way to take it all in while walking, jogging, or biking. Those into watersports can grab their paddleboard, kayak, or canoe, and go down the river for a scenic soft adventure. Even in the winter, people can be seen on bikes or kick-sleds – a new activity to the area.
