Canada

With its physical beauty Canada offers outdoor experiences like nowhere else on earth.

From mountains to coastlines, glaciers to secluded forests and lakes, there's so much to see and do that you could set out on an adventure all year round. British Columbia is the best of several worlds - clean fresh air, pristine mountains and oceans surround a world-class urban mecca with a neighbourly attitude.

Major destinations are Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler. To the East, Ontario is a province which welcomes you to some of the biggest, tallest, most unusual and exciting landscapes with major cities including Toronto and Niagara Falls.

A whole range of sporting options are available including rugby, football, lacrosse, hockey and netball and it may be possible to combine your visit with a trip to see baseball or ice hockey, so a truly exciting sporting experience is guaranteed.

In Canada, skiers are spoilt for choice with enough pistes to keep everyone happy no matter what your ability. The main ski centres are to be found in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and in British Columbia with world class skiing and boarding at resorts such as Banff, Whistler, Blackcomb and Lake Louise. There are also many other winter activities to try such as cross-country skiing, dog-sledding, snowmobiling and heli-skiing/boarding to name just a few.
