Trying to decide on a great Canadian vacation? Drive the Dempster highway! Starting in Yukon Territory and ending at the Arctic Ocean in the Northwest Territories, this road isn’t for the faint of heart. Mud, rocks, potholes and more await you - but the scenery makes it all worthwhile.

Another great Canadian destination- this one for birders! Reifel Bird Sanctuary has marshlands and more, and attracts many unusual birds. The Sandhill Cranes are a favourite!

Today’s great Canadian destination is Stanley Park, adjacent to the downtown core of Vancouver, BC. While walking the Seawall on Saturday we spotted a pair of Biggs orcas (probably following the sea mammals preying on the herring run), and nesting Great Blue Herons. A wonderful day!

My favourite Canadian destination: my hometown, Steveston, BC. Buy fish off the dock, wander tiny local shops, fly a kite at Garry Point and eat some delicious fresh seafood.

Canadian vacation destination du jour! Marsh Lake, Yukon Territory. “The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.” - Robert Service
