A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Test of Endurance North America » Canada » Ontario

On the road from Thunder Bay

When I agreed to take the two and a half hour flight northwest from Toronto to Winnipeg to meet Ro and then the 5 hour bus ride further north again, I didn’t quite connect that with the reality of having to get back to Toronto. Overland. Circumstance and some planning meant that we split that return journey into 3 parts. But we’d done the shorter legs and were now left with the mammoth 26 hour trip from Thunder Bay to Collingwood, Ontario to meet our next host. Over the course of the last couple of journeys on the Greyhoun [View Full Entry]

Day 27 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

PA140002

Today I awoke, as I expected I would, to the pitter patter of rain drops on my tent and with 100km to the ferry to go there was little time for sitting around so I was up and off by 8.45 and the rain had even stopped. Bonus. My first 10km today was all uphill. No-one had told me that the highway climbs from sea level up to 350m on Vancouver Island, wow that’s a way to wake up. Being used to hills by now though it was a case of shift into a low gear and let the legs work. [View Full Entry]

Monteal for thanksgiving North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Harbour front

One of the most startling things moving to Canada from Europe, is the much maligned vacation allowance. In order to maximise the opportunity to see Canada, we decided to set of for a rather long road trip to Montreal for Thanksgiving. All of our Canadian colleagues have no issue driving long distances and see this as part of the norm- which is hugely different from my usual plans; as I would rather take a short plane trip easyjet style. Anyway, after work on the Friday, we filled up the Jeep, set the GPS and set of for Montreal. As we knew [View Full Entry]

Getting ready to go North America » Canada » Ontario

Greetings from sunny Petawawa Thank you so much for taking the time to check in on my travel blog. I hope to update this regularly while I am on holiday in Argentina to keep you up to date with our adventures. Today I shall continue with preliminary packing and planning. Packing light with an infant is a new challenge in my life. I may have to say no to the hair dryer and the flat iron. How will I manage? Preparing for this trip is an exciting time. I have taken Malaya out of province and to New York for a [View Full Entry]

Polar Bear Diaries #1 North America » Canada » Manitoba » Churchill

The first winter storm.
The snow blew and the wind howled for five days, changing the landscape to a white, snowy world.

Hey guys! I thought I would try and update the blog fairly frequently, as there are many bears around, and I am sure you would all like to see some of the action? Winter has arrived... We had our first winter storm, and the land and lakes are now frozen in time. There is actually sea-ice forming around the shoreline, something we don't normally see until very late October or early November! I have my fingers crossed for an early freeze up, it would hopefully do wonders to our bears! During the last few days we have had a couple of [View Full Entry]

My Trip to Niagara Falls North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

My trip to nigara falls wasn't the most normal but it sure was alot of fun. The first thing we did when we got there was walk up and down the main strip of nigara. The main strip of the town looks like an amunsemnet park. Next we walked down the street and went into the guniess world records. Nothing really that interesting in there. After that we made our way down to the falls where we meet up with the rest of the school since we took a car with our teacher ot get there. So after we met up [View Full Entry]

my trip to niagra falls!!!! North America » Canada » Ontario » Niagara Falls

niagra
Me awkwardly standing infront of the falls

The roaring water streaming down the river, it falls off what seems to be a 1,000 foot drop. It almost seems as though time stops when the water is free falling into the niagra river. Then it suddenly crashes to the water bellow creating a thundering echo and sending mist all over the surrounding area. It is one of the seven wonders of the world, it truely is spectacular. I am talking about the NIAGRA FALLS... incase you were having a bit of trouble figuring out what i was talking about. Last week my Natural Disasters class went to see the [View Full Entry]

Sitting on the Edge

My trek to Niagara falls started off with a very early mourning having to be at school for 7:50 am which is normally when I get up to get ready for school. Once arriving at school a few minutes late I met up with Sam, Andrew S and Cam because we were chosen to drive up in Ms Brown’s car. Driving up was a long ride because off all the traffic and having to sit next to Sam. I was a little bit scared for the first half an hour while driving up with the teacher because I thought it was [View Full Entry]

My Trip to Niagara Falls. North America » Canada » Ontario » Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls

On October 7th 2009, Birchmount's Travel&tourism and Natural Disasters class decided to go to the beautiful Niagara Falls for a class trip. We all loaded the bus at 8am sharp, and got on the road. It was a long 2 hour drive, but most of us got some sleep. As we arrived, the weather was horrible. It was cold and very rainy, so we couldn't go on the maid of the mist as planned. We all went into a building with gift shops and decided to go see a movie. Niagara's Fury was a 4D movie that brought you inside the [View Full Entry]
