Breathtaking Canada!

Across this great country, huge in land mass, and varied in its landscape, from the West Coast to the East Coast, the Great Lakes to the great expanses of the oceans that surround that portion of North America that is Canada, magnificence reigns supreme.

Nature has gifted Canada with immense landscapes, with gigantic rock formations, with oceanscapes and vast tracts of arable land with which to support its population, few of whom ever venture any distance outside the perimeter of its cities.

For those adventurously hardy souls whose curiosity and love of nature takes them far from the urban landscape into nature's province, to the forests, streams, beaches and mountains the land represents a never-ending source of fascination.

Paddling canoes on lakes in Ontario and Quebec, along the great rivers of the Western provinces and the great Northern areas; guiding kayaks on the ocean stretches alongside British Columbia; hauling backpacks up mountain sides to pitch tents on precarious slopes, sighting Dahl sheep and mountain goats, marmots and picas, eagles flying high overhead.

We revel in the diversity of the landscape, the utterly serene beauty of it all, the distinguishing features, from our venerable old-growth forests to the vast reaches of the mountain ranges in Alberta and British Columbia. All of which beckon those with a stout awareness of time, history and the ineffable presence of the nature that surrounds us.
