Talking Shop THE SECTION JUST FOR AGENTS
BEEN THERE done that!
I'VE ALWAYS been fascinated by Canada and its vastness, and have been extremely lucky to have visited it four times.
The majority of my enquires tend to
be for The Rockies - everyone's first image of Canada - but there are many other wonderful parts too. I've been to British Columbia and
Alberta, and have been on the Rocky Mountaineer. It's not difficult to understand why this region is so popular - great cities, plus breathtaking scenery. One of my favourite memories, is of
standing by Lake Louise early one bright autumn morning and marvelling at the reflection of the mountains in the lake. Other great memories include catching
my first sight of Mount Robson from the Rocky Mountaineer, seeing the centre of Whistler in autumn with its red maple trees; the glimpse of a moose on the edge of the highway, and visiting the Icefields Parkway on the way to Jasper. I fell in love with Toronto. I took a boat
ride out into the harbour, visited the CN tower and walked over the glass floor at the top. The shopping was good too, and then within a short drive you're in the beautiful Muskoka region, I've loved it all and there is still so
much I'd like to see. MARARGET ADDISON, TRAVEL COUNSELLORS
