Oh Canada! - Facts and Information

Directly above the United States, the provinces located in Canada are not only a popular place to live in North America, but also for vacationing at, as well. One of Canada's most prominent features is its wildlife and topography. For example, the Rockies present a wonderful opportunity to get close to nature. However, many of the trails are better left for the serious enthusiast. In addition to the mountains, there are also beaches along the coast to visit, as well as lakes and streams, too.

Places in Canada

Unlike the United States, the regions in Canada are broken up into different provinces and territories. One of the largest cities in Canada is Ottawa, which also happens to be the country's capital. The Rocky Mountains are a frequent destination for natives and travelers alike due to the immense variation in wildlife and gorgeous scenery. In total, there are ten different provinces that span across Canada, but only three territories.

Wildlife in Canada

Canada is home to a variety of large mammals, birds, fish and insects. For example, one can find beavers, squirrels, large wild cats, bears, moose, bats, foxes, otters and even seals – just to name a few! In fact, many people travel specifically to Canada to go bird watching during all seasons of the year. The best times to see the most native wildlife out and about are during the spring and summer months.

When to Go

There is not a one-size-fits-all answer that covers when the best time to take a trip to Canada is – it just depends on what one plans on doing when they get there! For example, winter is a great time to ski, see beautiful snowy landscapes and observe a select few animals, like owls. However, most people opt to go when it starts to warm up in the spring and summer, instead. It's important to remember to take one's mode of transportation into account, as well – snow chains and other winter procedures must be observed if one is driving to Canada while there's snow.

Weather in Canada

Weather in Canada is quite variable, and some of the provinces are known for having very intense snow storms once winter sets in, especially across the Rocky Mountain Range. However, during the late spring and early summer, the weather can be quite pleasant. Depending on where one is in Canada, the middle of summer can be somewhat uncomfortable due to the combination of humidity and heat. Rain storms are very common during the fall.

Flags, Flowers and Tidbits

The diversity of spruces, pines, oaks and wild flowers in Canada is impressive. All of the Canadian provinces and territories have their own flower. For example, the rose is one of the symbols of Alberta, while the purple pitcher plant belongs to Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada's national flag features two different colors: red and white. There is a large maple leaf in the center of the white stripe, which is why the flag is referred to as The Maple Leaf. In addition to the national flag, each province in Canada has their own flag, as well.
