Ottawa is Canada's capital city, with a distinctive cultural center blending old and new architecture; much of which can be seen boating its Rideau Canal Waterway. Parliament Hill, visible throughout the downtown area, is one of Canada's most recognized landmarks and the seat of Canada's federal government; it too is the site of the "must see" Changing of the Guard. The National Gallery of Canada houses the world's largest collection of Canadian art, including a section devoted to contemporary Inuit art. The Canadian Museum of Civilization is the country's largest and most popular cultural institute; located on the shores of the Ottawa River, it presents over 10,000 years of Canadian pre-history, history, and culture. The National Museum of Science and Technology chronicles the technological development of Canada, including the Gregorian reflecting telescope and important logging machinery. Here too we witness the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride, an evening of traditional entertainment with a troop of 32 horses and riders performing cavalry drills choreographed to music. Our intro to Toronto brings us to popular attractions such as Ontario Place, Harbourfront, Power Plant, Craft Studio, and CN Tower. We also explore the Toronto Zoo, the world's third largest zoo, which displays over 5,000 animals in a zoological park complete with ponds, waterfalls, and floral displays.

Vancouver is surrounded by water on three sides, is Canada's busiest port, is stunningly beautiful, and is a center of arts and learning. No wonder people love this place. Here we explore one of the world's greatest urban parks, the 1,000-acre Stanley Park; also the Vancouver Aquarium, which introduces visitors to underwater environments ranging from the Arctic to the Amazon. Granville Island, a small peninsula connected to downtown via the Granville Street Bridge, is a multi-use facility including industry, commerce, and entertainment; then to Grouse Mountain, an aerial sky ride that takes visitors on a one-mile journey above the city. Also we remember the Royal Hudson Steam Train, a 1930's restored steam engine that once offered rides from Vancouver to Squamish. Next is the Calgary Stampede; called the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," this annual exhibition celebrates the agricultural and historical legacy of the past. In Banff we visit the Banff Springs Hotel. Built in 1888 it is one of the lavish hotels constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railroad to entice visitors to ride the rails to the Rockies and enjoy the Upper Hot Springs Pool. Lastly, we take a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain, getting a spectacular view of Banff and the entire Bow Valley.

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.

Here we visit the Banff Resort and Chateau Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies; located on the Continental Divide in Alberta, this is Canada's largest single ski area. Not only are there slopes for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, but there are attractions for the non-skiers as well. Restaurants, museums, galleries, shops, spas, and other sports are available so there is something for everyone.

Canada's premier resort is a family-friendly destination and is special because of its two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb. Side by side, they offer over 8,000 acres of skiing and snowboarding possibilities, but activities are offered year round for everyone.

Honeymooners from around the world visit Niagara Falls. The American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side offer beautiful and romantic scenery for any tourist. Boat rides began in 1846, and even today a visit to Niagara Falls isn't complete without a ride on the Maid of the Mist to the shoe in the Horseshoe Falls. That isn't the only attraction at Niagara Falls, however. There are wineries, shops, restaurants, and 56 acres of parkland to entice every visitor. Venture further into Canada and tour the Deerhurst Resort; this natural masterpiece is located on 800 acres along Peninsula Lake, just outside Huntsville, Ontario and only two hours from Toronto. It borders Algonquin Natural Park and offers a unique blend of natural beauty with luxury and seclusion. There are activities for every age and every season, from hay rides to cross-country skiing, water sports, tennis, and golf.

A Christmas that will never be forgotten begins with the Banff Springs Hotel rising majestically from its snowy surroundings and lifting the spirit of the season along with it. Inside this century-old "Castle of the Rockies" a chorus sings of Yuletide tradition along-side a crackling fireplace; while, outside, visitors are swept away by romantic adventures: dog sledding through the evergreen forest on trails of white snow, horse drawn sleighrides and ice skating to the magical tunes of the Nutcracker Suite. Viewers will see how hospitality and a cold climate make Banff a true winter wonderland.

Located on the tip of Vancouver Island in the Canadian province of British Columbia, Victoria is a modern city with architectural and historical ties to England. It boasts palatial structures and parliamentary buildings that rival its London counterparts, and its double-decker buses and customary "afternoon tea" are clear reminders of British cultural influence. In this program, Hosts Jake and Mieke de Boer take viewers on a whirlwind tour of one of North America's great cities. The tour starts at the Swift Sure Regatta in Victoria Bay, where over 250 yachts compete in the annual 132 mile racing event. The next stop is the Inner Harbor Causeway, one of historic Victoria's most recognizable features, which once functioned as a footbridge across James Bay. The tour then moves to Duncan, the site of the Native Heritage Center, where viewers see artisans from five native cultures making totem poles and authentic Indian sweaters. Then it's on to Market Square, a modern open-air market that was once the site of saloons and opium dens. After partaking in the traditional afternoon "tea and crumpets" at the Empress Hotel, the tour ends with a leisurely stroll through the expansive floral acres of Butchart Gardens. The viewer is left with an image of Victoria as a progressive cosmopolitan city, a city which justifiably calls itself "the friendliest city in North America."

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.

This quaint town, nestled in the lush wine country within the province of Ontario, makes time stand still. The ten-day wine festival is the cultural event of the year, and ice wine is the centerpiece of the festival. This sweet dessert wine is made from frozen grapes and some call it "the golden nectar of the gods." Another annual event is the George Bernard Shaw Festival held each fall to honor the famed Irish playwright and author. The town comes alive as Shaw's plays are presented in an atmosphere of long-ago gentility and grace, where afternoon tea is an everyday event. The countryside around the town offers magnificent views of the Niagara River, and a bike tour along the Niagara River Trail is a must. Another side trip can be a winery's cooking school, where cooking tips and proper wines to accompany food are offered. Back in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a horse-drawn carriage takes us on a stroll through the historic district. To end our visit in this wonderful town, we pamper ourselves at a local spa, where a soothing massage and facial will revitalize any weary traveler.

Canadians are rightfully proud of their national capital city, Ottawa, and in this program we discover why. We learn right away what it is to be Canadian in this naturally beautiful city, which lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec; the Ottawa too contains the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal; the latter has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country's fourth largest city, Ottawa has much more to offer its citizens and visitors alike. Love history? Then you'll love visiting the historic Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill; these are among Canada's most recognizable heritage sites; next we indulge in culture and view Canadian artwork at the National Gallery of Canada; then we explore the ByWard Market, the cradle of the city's French population, which once was known as Lowertown, but today is a bustling site with an exciting array of restaurants and boutiques. By tour's end viewers totally understand Capital Pride.
