 Husky dog between Iqaluit and
Apex by jamiesno
I have been fortunate to explore several parts of the Canadian north so far and in this tip I am recommending Iqaluit in Nunavut, Canada's newest territory!
It's home to an amazing House of Assembly, the Canadian Inuit dog, Inuit people, raw northern landscapes, unique cultures, polar bears and economic growth potential.
I have a link to a seperate Iqaluit web page here on VT however you are just scratching Nunavut's surface by getting to Iqaluit, as you will see from the map, it's hard to grasp how big and remote this territory really is. I trust you would enjoy your visit here!

 Cameron Falls near
Yellowknife, NWT by jamiesno
The drive to Yellowknife is full of amazing waterfalls, wild buffalo, over 12 different aboriginal dialects, massive diamond fields and immense outdoor activity opportunities.
Arguably the best fish I have ever eaten was at a place called Bullock's in Yelloknife. I have a link provided to a page dedicated completly to this location.
The customer service, dining opportunities and shopping all deserve very high rating regardless of location but certainly in the north.
Put on your trekking shoes and take the challenge to get way up here north of the 60th parrallel. Leave a Comment

 The Grand / Churchill River
before Muskrat Falls by jamiesno
Labrador is a very big region with three different aboriginal influences, a young history of european settlers to the area.
It is very remote and another area where you have to prepare for the challenge but when you get here there is ample adventure and landscapes for you to enjoy!
I have a special page dedicated specifically to Labrador and I hope you enjoy!! Leave a Comment

 View from Grey Mountain,
Whitehorse, Yukon by jamiesno
If you haven't been able to tell I am a fan of the Canadian north!
Every place has its own unique history and claim to fame! Here in Whitehorse it's the infamous gold rush!! This history is very rich and adds to the immense character of this region of Canada. I have a link specifically to a Whitehorse page.
The Yukon is also home to Dawson City, Canada's highest peak and a very close proximity to Alaska which makes for great day tripping from Whitehorse.
Beleive me there is something about this place you will enjoy!!! The bald eagles, rivers, valleys, mountains, the list goes on :-) Leave a Comment

 Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical
Chinese Garden by Paul2001
The Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden was created in 1985-86 and was the first full scale Chinese garden constructed outside of China. It was created along the same lines as those of the Ming Dynasty. The plants grown in the garden are the same that you would find in China. Each plant is meant to set a certain mood. The garden is named after Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, considered to be the father of Modern China.
The hours of the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden vary dramatically throughout the year. Check the website below for the time of season you will be visiting. It costs $8.25 for an adult ticket.
The garden is located at 578 Carrall Street,
west of downtown Vancouver. Leave a Comment

 Canada is my second home! by RafaelTheSecond
SAINTE ANNE!!! :)
In my opinion it is the best place for skiing in Quebec Province, at least it is not so Hollywood style like Tremblent.
I love Tremblent for sure, but in Sainte Anne you will be more in touch with the winderful Quebecois!
