on the bucket list of many, whale watching is possible at various places along the British Columbian coast, particularly from Vancouver and Victoria, where species including orcas, humpbacks and grey whales reside. For a real off-the-beaten-track experience, the Haida Gwaii is a true adventurer’s dream. An archipelago of islands 40 miles off the coast, with rich heritage and an abundance of biodiversity, it’s no wonder it’s dubbed the Canadian Galapagos. The waters here offer stunning delights for kayakers, who might even be lucky enough to be joined by whales. In the neighbouring province of Alberta,


Banff National Park is home to both snow-capped mountains and, when the temperature warms, lush green forests. As snow on the hiking trails melts, recommend your customers be on the lookout for animals, which are in abundance come springtime. Calgary too teems with activities in the spring. Beer drinkers shouldn’t miss Calgary’s International Beerfest, an annual beer festival at which more than 200 breweries showcase their best tipples, along with food pairings and entertainment across the two days. Cities, towns and villages also play host


to a number of farmers’ markets where your customers can get a real taste for local life.


Quintessential Quebec Canada’s eastern provinces also abound with nature when the season changes. Quebec and Ontario maintain a host of traditions and festivities in spring, and visitors and locals alike can really make the most of it. One Québécois activity that shouldn’t


be missed is a visit to the sugar shacks. It’s a rite of passage for anyone visiting the province. Here, you can sample the delicious maple syrup and other sweet treats. Those without a sweet tooth won’t be missing out. Pea soup, meatballs and pies are just some of the local delicacies on offer, while there’s usually a good selection of entertainment to complement the cuisine. Quebec City hosts a number of spring


festivals. These include the Quebec Exquis food and drink festival, which runs for two weeks in April, and the Magic Festival at the start of May. Meanwhile, Montreal comes alive with


colour in the spring. Your customers can take in the budding green scenery as the flowers start to blossom on a walk around Beaver Lake in the heart of the city. One famous event in February that has been running for more than 20 years is the Butterflies Go Free festival, where visitors can embrace nature by observing the thousands of butterflies at the Montreal Botanical Garden. Across the border in Ontario, the cities


and countryside bloom in the spring. Toronto is a great year-round city-break destination, but in the springtime, your customers can really enjoy the parks, the markets and the neighbourhoods. High Park starts to blossom in the spring, with bright pink coating the trees. Kensington Market, with its quirky stores


and street entertainment, is a fascinating place to visit when the temperature warms up, while the Distillery District is home to hip art galleries, boutiques and restaurants.
