Top 10 excuses to justify a trip to Canada

If you were still hesitating to come discover our beautiful country, look no further: you’ve clicked on the right link to convince yourself! Here are 10 great excuses to justify your future trip to Canada!

1. I need fresh air

No surprise, Canada offers pristine nature as far as the eye can see: forests, mountains, waterfalls, fjords, and much more. The idea of wide-open spaces is captivating and provides a great opportunity to step away from everyday life and reconnect with an incredibly abundant nature. So, shall we go for a hike?

2. I’d like to make the whole family happy

There are so many and so diverse: raccoons, black bears, grizzlies, beavers, whales, and even moose. There’s something for everyone! Encounters with wildlife are always a surprise here, and it’s sure to create lasting memories—and maybe even a few thrills!

3. I want to go adventuring

Everything here is perfect for it! You saw it coming, right? Such a big territory like Canada means long distances. RV are thus king and offer an experience right in the heart of nature. So, let’s slow down and go for the adventure!

4. I want to shake up my culinary habits

Canada has something unique: the sugar shack! Spring is synonymous with maple syrup harvest, also known as sugaring season. It’s the perfect time to discover the expertise at maple groves and share big meals drenched in maple syrup: tourtière, pea soup, baked beans, pancakes, and above all, don’t forget to put on your best plaid shirt. And if you’re still not full, there’s always time to dig into a poutine!

5. I need a new wallpaper

This excuse couldn’t be more perfectly fulfilled than in Canada. Indian Summer is a phenomenon unique to northeastern North America. The warmth of summer combined with the blazing colors of autumn offers a spectacular experience. The forests put on their best colors, promising you photos that will make everyone jealous!

6. I don’t want to hibernate anymore

Surprising for a country known for its long winters! Mountain lakes, fountains, or city canals—no body of water in Canada escapes the freeze. When the temperatures drop, all of them are quickly set up so everyone can lace up their skates and go for a spin on the ice. An exciting outdoor winter activity to experience the cold differently. Come see for yourself!

7. I want to improve my French

The reputation of Canadians is true—they are friendly, welcoming, and approachable. Mingling with the locals is an essential part of a trip to Canada. Whether you’re traveling in an English or French-speaking area, everyone will make you feel at home, and you’ll be able to share wonderful moments filled with warmth and kindness!

8. I’m diving into a new sport

In the arena or at the bar with a good local beer, you’ll catch the fever for ice hockey. The atmosphere is festive, palpable, and sweeps across all the stands. Cheer for the local team and join in the chants!

9. I’m looking for some fun

Nothing more thrilling than an unusual festival: electronic music outdoors in winter in Montreal, rodeo in Calgary, alternative theater in Edmonton, or even a frozen hair contest in Whitehorse. There’s nothing better to have fun and discover extravagant, laid-back events!

10. I want to learn

Indigenous communities represent a strong heritage of the country. Opening up to the world of the First Nations and their various traditions allows you to gain a sincere and curious perspective on Canada’s lands and its first peoples. Numerous initiatives make it possible to learn more about these different communities, all in the spirit of sharing and goodwill.
