Canada

With a total area of nearly four million square miles, Canada is the world’s second largest country.  With a population of just under 34 million people, there’s plenty of wilderness and wildlife, as well as vibrant cities and First Nation culture to discover. There are many ways to enjoy a holiday in Canada, from remote lodges devoted entirely to bear watching, heli-hiking in the mountain ranges, sailing to remote islands, or canoeng or kayaking with whales or on remote rivers and lakes. It doesn’t all have to be high adventure. There is plenty of walking, fly-fishing and stunning scenery to drive through. Windows on the Wild is pleased to also bring you an array of places to stay while in Canada.

 

No matter when you visit, Canada’s seasons offer dramatic displays of colour and vibrant life. Spring comes as early as late February on the west coast. In the rest of Canada, temperatures warm up in early April and the pleasant spring weather extends to June. Summers across Canada bring warm to hot weather from late May to late September. Autumn brings a stunning show of colour and cold, crisp days. Much of the Canadian landscape is covered with a blanket of snow in winter, with snowfall beginning in late October and general temperatures going below freezing. However, on the west coast, winters are much milder and if snow does fall, it doesn’t stay for long.
