Tour two of Canada's most historic and cosmopolitan cities: the island-city of Montreal, famous for its international appeal; then to Quebec to join in its annual Winter Carnival. First stop is Montreal, North America's largest bilingual city; where French and English both are spoken with ease. Food is an important part of Montreal life, and there are culinary treats for everyone, from gourmet French restaurants to delicatessens and pastry shops. No visit to Montreal would be complete without a trip to St. Catherine's Street, where shopping is supreme. Other attractions include ice skating, visiting the Natural Science Museum and Polar World. Casino nightlife is always popular, but be sure to end your visit here with a romantic carriage ride through Old Montreal to view the architecture. Our tour continues to Quebec and the world's largest winter carnival. First begun in 1894 by French settlers to celebrate before Lent, the carnival has grown into an important event for both tourists and locals, with activities and fun that last for 11 days. Visit such events as snow bathing, axe throwing, and wood chopping competitions. Enjoy a delicious maple syrup snow cone while attending a highlight of the Winter Carnival, the International Snow Sculpture Event, with participants from around the world. Before you leave the city, take a break from the carnival's activities and visit one of Quebec's main attractions, the Chateau Frontenac, one of the most photographed hotels in the world. Built overlooking the Saint Lawrence River, the hotel provides spectacular views from all vantage points.

Visiting the Gaspé region of Quebec is a truly unique experience, and this panoramic program brings it all to life. Discovered by French explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534, the Gaspé Peninsula is a natural wonder. Roche Percé, the "pierced rock," is a natural monument and bird sanctuary, which is losing 375 tons of its mass every year. Bonaventure Island, declared a bird sanctuary in 1919, is an 1800-acre island, home to the second largest gannet colony in the world. Miguasha National Park is a paleontologist's dream. With an amazing assortment of fossils dating back 350-400 million, it is considered the most outstanding fossil site in the world. The Reford Gardens are one of Quebec's most popular National Historic sites. Renowned as an outstanding example of horticultural art, these gardens are designed in the style of 19th-century collectors' gardens. Lastly, we learn how sailors in the 16th century discovered the abundant fishing grounds of the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, and how important fishing remains as part of daily life today.

Skiing enthusiasts will love the visits to three of Eastern Canada's most popular and most accessible ski resorts: the Domain of Killien Resort in Ontario; then Gray Rocks and Mont St. Anne resorts in Quebec. The Domain of Killien is located in the Haliburton Highlands and is a sophisticated hotel with superb food. Visitors can choose between cabins around a lake or the main lodge, and winter activities include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and ice-skating, while water sports and hiking may be enjoyed in the summer. Next we reminisce in visiting Gray Rock Resort, once a popular resort outside of Montreal that offered amenities such as a pool, saunas, and exercise equipment, as well as weekly ski classes and mini-tournaments. The final destination is one of the most popular ski resorts outside of Quebec City, Mont Sainte Anne. This luxury resort has the highest elevation in Canada and offers year-round activities. Golf, mountain biking, and paragliding are just a few of the activities enjoyed in the summer, while cross-country skiing, dog sledding, and night skiing are highlights of the winter fun.

Ottawans love their beautiful city, but they also enjoy the many peaceful places outside their capital. Just a few minutes' drive from the city is the Capital Region and Gatineau Hills, filled with forests, hills, lakes, and acres of recreational pathways to explore. In the Capital Region we see the Rideau Canal System, which in summer is a mecca for boaters and in winter becomes the world's longest skating rink. We learn of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada's first French-speaking Prime Minister, known for winning the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize and for the creation of the United Nations peacekeeping force. We experience a Canada Day Celebration, where hundreds of thousands of people celebrate Canada's heritage on July 1st. In Gatineau Hills, we visit Pink Lake, which is actually green due to algae build-up; it provides an environment where rare forms of life can survive. Next to Gatineau Park, a nature reserve that follows a wall of ancient Canadian shield rock shaped by the passage of glaciers thousands of years ago; then we learn of the former Prime Minister, William Lyon MacKenzie King, known for supporting "national unity." Finally, we see the Wakefield Steam Train; in operation since 1907 it is one of the last steam-powered locomotives in Canada.
