British Columbia and Alberta

British Columbia
Breathtaking views of the majestic Rocky Mountains and other spectacular natural settings will endear you to this province. Vancouver, British Columbia’s largest city, offers beaches and the world famous Stanley Park. On those really rainy days, check out the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Center, CN IMAX theatre or the many fine art galleries, theatres and museums.

Being so close to the ocean, seafood is readily available and delicious. Dine on such delights as fresh oysters, scallops and crabs as well as the world-renowned Pacific salmon. A traditional British Columbia dish is salmon grilled on a cedar plank.

The Okanogan Valley offers some of the sweetest peaches, cherries, apricots and apples in the world, and some of our finest wines

Skiers and snowboarders will not want to pass up the opportunity to visit Canada’s world class ski resorts including Whistler and Blackcomb.

See the official website of the province of British Columbia.

Alberta
Alberta is made up of mountains and rolling ranchland, real cowboy country! If you are visiting in the summer, you won’t want to miss the Calgary Stampede where you can see dare-devil cowboys in action and sample some of the finest BBQ beef you have ever tasted. Alberta is home to most of Canada’s beef cattle. Other local specialties are bison smoked over sweet grass and Bow Valley trout.

While in Alberta, you may also want to visit the dinosaur park and hike up a few mountains. Skiing is fabulous in the winter and adventurous souls may want to try mountain biking in the summer.

Banff National Park, a short drive from Calgary, is Canada’s oldest and most spectacular heritage park. The town of Banff which is located in the park offers many restaurants. You definitely should check out the upper hot springs and even if you can’t afford to stay in the Banff Springs Hotel, this luxurious hotel is well worth a visit.
