I'd never fished before coming here, but my God is it fun! The lakes and rivers are teeming with fish and every trip I've been on so far everyone has gotten at least a bite. Here's a proud photo of my first real fish - a small walleye. These fish make a great meal so keep them if they are big enough. Starter rod and reel combos can be picked up for about $30 at Canadian Tire. A license is required to fish and can also be pourchased there.
Something I know about the canadians, first they learn how to walk and second they learn how to go ice skating....Well I learnt how to walk for the second time in my life at Dowslake in Ottawa...But 32 years later....From the little shelter where I wore my iceskating shoes to that little seating place in the picture it took me long 10 minutes with the generous help of Mike, and I think that the distance between the two places was less than 3 meters!Brazilians....oh wellJanuary, 2005 You can rent your shoes in the lake, the place is simply marvelous!
For Canadians it must be not extreme at all, but for a tropical brazilian like me, it is indeed a very radical sport, above all when you can ride it in a 120km/h in a narrow snow road! And you can imagine that a single stone in the middle of the road can really kill you!And the french canadians are crazy!;) But thanks to that madness I had one of the most glorious moments in my life!And after some kilometers exploring the beautiful region of La Belle, we stopped in this lovely bar in La Conception for my sacred hot chocolate! You need a real good snowmobile, in that case, a motoneige, hahahah :) A cool and crazy instructor, if I am not mistaken his name is Claude, very easy to find him, in La belle there is the old train station, his crew is there! :))))))January 26th, 2005
Riding Lake Louise is an absolute treasure. It belongs to a group of about 10 other resorts but is by far the biggest and in my opinion the best. The terrain is so varied and seemingly endless. It took me a full month to ride every marked track and another 2 months to do the whole mountain. The resort is made up of 3 faces of one mountain, one face of another and the valley in between. It took me a solid half hour to race down the front face at full speed. After that I had to call it a day, it that's awsome. 4 layers of clothing is standard. However, the snow is very dry so you gloves and arse don't get wet at all.

There is great skiing throughout Canada and I will add more tips on this particular sport but for now I would recommend checking out the Tremblant resort in Quebec. It is beautiful and about one hour and thirty minute drive from Montreal.I really enjoyed this resort and the mountain!!If this information and my link are helpful please rate my tip and leave your comments!! :-)My Mont Tremblant VT Page!
Ok if you are going to take in a sporting event in Canada, the game of Hockey has to be top priority. It is more than a game, it is the national past time, so go check it out. The main league is the National Hockey League or NHL in the following cities in Canada:Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver.From the web site link I provided you can find detailed schedules for the teams.Remember if you like my tips, please rate them and leave your comments!! I enjoy reading them. All the best!I've been to two hockey games now in Calgary and Montreal and have to get to more somehow!!!
In Canada football is popular and high scoring in the CFL or Canadian Football League.I have provided a web site link for lots of detail but if you visit Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, Vancouver or Calgary you will find CFL action during the season.I tried it and it was a lot of fun.Remember if you like my tips please rate them and leave your comments :-). I love getting your comments!!
I'm not a big sports fan, but I appreciate that many others are. When you're in Canada you may want to check out some of the sporting activities taking place. You could catch, depending upon the season, an ice hockey game, a baseball game, Canadian football, soccer (football elsewhere), basketball, horse-racing (either standardbred or thoroughbred racing), or some other sporting event. Your first bet is to check the local newspaper's sporting section for what is being played at home while you are there. If you are staying at a hotel, the concierge should be able to help you get tickets. Some excellent athletes can be found at the university or even high school meets, so if you really need your sports fix, don't rule those out! Well you need to take your enthousiasm, and a good yelling voice! If you're going to an outdoors game in the spring or fall, you may need a seat cushion, or a...
In summertimes a really beautiful hike and you can go swimming in the ocean (it's more like a Fjord there) It is very close to downtown vancouver. Take the seabus to North Van there you take the 139 bus to Cap College but get out at the Ladner Exchange and take bus 212 to Deep Cove. It's a very small place and people there know about the hike. At the beginning I almost couldn't find where it starts as it is quite hidden behind trees and all. Nothing special. it is only about 2 hours both ways...
