Eastern Canada’s Tempting Trio
Toronto. Ottawa. Quebec City – disparate from one other as chalk is from cheese, yet they have an underlying common link. Each lets you re-live history while promising a host of wonderful moments to savour – and memories to take home.
Ottawa, Canada’s capital, and Toronto, its business capital, both lie in Ontario province. Another top-drawer in the eastern region is the romantic Quebec City, claimed as the only fortified city on the North American continent.
Don’t let talk of the long winters in this region scare you away! Ottawa and
Quebec City will charm you as ideal destinations for skiing and diversified outdoor winter activities in pristine surroundings, including Ottawa’s Winterlude Festival each February. Toronto has milder winters (except for last year which was an exception).
But from May to October – the six months of spring, summer and autumn – Eastern Canada rolls out its red carpet studded with gems of myriad festivals and celebrations – music, dance, film, theatre, food, farmer’s markets, flowers, shopping and sightseeing.
