Fall into
Canada in autumn is resplendent with colour, which will fire the imagination to explore this beautiful country
A
utumn, or fall as it’s known across the Atlantic, is when the colours really
come out in Canada. From the biggest cities to the smallest villages, Canada embraces the autumn, and travellers of all ages will never be short of things to do outside the peak season.
Best of both in Manitoba The province of Manitoba is home to city and tundra and everything in between. Winnipeg is its largest city and really comes into its own outside the summer months. The Forks National Historic Site sits right where the Assiniboine River meets the Red River, and is
home to a large park and beautiful gardens, as well as shops and restaurants. And a short walk from here is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the world’s first museum devoted to human rights. If clients are looking for even more
adventure, Churchill – the ‘polar bear capital of the world’ – is one of the best places to spot this wonderful creature. Almost a two- hour flight from Winnipeg, and lying on the banks of Hudson Bay, Churchill is the ultimate bucket-list destination for those wanting to experience incredible wildlife. From polar bear safaris to seeing the northern lights, customers will feel at one with nature out in the Canadian tundra.
Ontario’s twin cities One of Canada’s biggest cities, Toronto is just an eight-hour flight from the UK. With its artsy vibe, bustling downtown and beautiful islands, visitors will always find plenty to do here. The autumn weather in Toronto is similar
to the UK’s, but if the mercury drops, don’t be put off – there’s a network of underground tunnels connecting more than 75 buildings in downtown Toronto, with 1,200 restaurants,

shops and services. Back at street level, Graffiti Alley is the place to walk if you want that perfect Instagram shot, with wall after wall filled with original street art. Toronto also has the added benefit of being 90 minutes away from Niagara Falls, meaning it’s perfect for a day trip to the famous landmark. On the Canadian side, visitors can take a tour on the Hornblower cruises, venture behind the water, or enjoy the attractions that the town of Niagara-on- the-Lake has to offer. The Canadian capital Ottawa is just over
four hours’ drive away. Here, visitors can stroll along the Rideau Canal, which runs through the heart of the city, and admire the beautiful autumnal views. Throughout the season the city has a bustling foodie scene, with harvest festivals and farmers’ markets, and November’s Ottawa Wine and Food Festival.
The colourful Maritimes The best of the Maritimes can be seen in the autumn months. Before the temperature drops for the winter, the provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick bloom with colour, making for wonderful scenic drives outside of the peak season.
