_______________History
Edit This
Though Canada's history has been relatively short, (the Dominion of Canada was only actually founded in 1867) it has certainly been eventful. Canadians are fascinated by their past and this is reflected in the many historical sites throughout the country. In Central and Eastern Canada, the history entails the early struggles of the first European settlers, and of how the two major cultural groups of the time (British and French) interacted to build a great nation together. In today's highly charged political arena, with on-going talk of Québec independence, this earlier relationship is too often forgotten. The history of Central and Eastern Canada is also very much tied in with the American Revolution, when thousands of people loyal to the British crown crossed the border and settled in these areas in order to remain under British rule. The struggle with the United States continued until after the war of 1812, when an attempted invasion of Canada by the Americans was repulsed.

Canada adopted the Statute of Westminster in December 1931, giving it full legislative autonomy within the British Empire. The country emerged as an independent nation within the Commonwealth after the Second World War, and the last legislative link with the U.K. was ended with the patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982. Queen Elizabeth II remains Canada's head of state, represented by the Governor General.

In Canada, the history of the land has been influenced by people adapting to the forces of nature in a particular region. In Atlantic Canada, the ocean has played a very significant role in the history and culture of the area. In Western Canada, much of the history of this region revolves around the building of the railway westwards. While building the trans-Canada railroad brought progress and development to, and even helped create many communities, a lot of sacrifice and challenges were necessary for the railway to be completed. The history of Western Canada is also synonymous with the growth and development of the Hudson Bay Company. The fur trade was responsible for the discovery and later habitation of many places. Similarly, the North West Mounted Police (now part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) helped form and develop the west. This police force was the forerunner of the legendary Mounties. Throughout the country, it is interesting to see how the laws and even the mores of earlier times have shaped today's society.

One cannot mention the history of Canada, without reference to its indigenous peoples. Their history began thousands of years before the first European settlers. Throughout Canada you can learn about the cultures of these people and their contribution to Canada. Regrettably, the people that came to settle what became Canada did not appreciate much of the aboriginal culture and traditions. When you visit some of the indigenous historic sites, you will realize how developed and organized these societies were, long before the arrival of Europeans. There is much to be learned from their way of life and the innovative ways they made their livelihood.

A cross country national highway. Canada's Main Street, the Trans Canada Highway, links all 10 Canadian Provinces from coast to coast (Victoria, BC to St. John's, NF). It is billed as the world's longest highway, and its length varies from 7,205 Kilometers ( 4,477 Miles) according to the "distance calculator" tool on the web-site of a national moving company to 7,821 km (4,860 mi) on the inofficial Trans Canada Highway web-site (www.TransCanadaHighway.com).

Air Travel

Although Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport can be considered the major hub for air travel to and from Canada, it can be avoided, depending on your destination of course, since there are many more international airports in Eastern and Western Canada that see international direct and non-stop flights arrive and leave every day. Besides Air Canada, other major US and overseas airlines provide year-round air services. During tourist seasons Air Transat and Skyservice as well as foreign air charter companies more..

Car Rentals
Edit This

All major international car rental companies offer their services in Canada as well. Because of the vast expanse of Canada, it is highly recommended, to rent a car. Otherwise you would restrict yourself in what you can see and explore. Even if you are coming to Canada to hike in the National Parks around Banff for example, a rental car gives you more options, as the trailheads may be 50 to 100 miles away from your accommodation. Only if you plan to explore just some big cities like Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal for example, you don't need a rental car there. Those cities have a more..

Motorcoach Travel

Greyhound Canada and their affiliates Grayline and Laidlaw offer scheduled inter-city bus services throughout Canada. There may also be additional regional carriers to chose from.

In major tourist areas (like for example Banff National Park) local motorcoach companies (like Brewster in Banff) offer regional sightseeing tours and connecting services to major centres / airports. Sometimes, those companies have expanded their services to offer vacation packages consisting of multiple day's escorted motorcoach tours and hotel accommodation.

More than 100 years ago construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway opened access to the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains and the West. However, the speed of travel and the frequency of passenger service seem not to have improved much since then. But, to be fair, the dimension of Canada, as the second largest country in the world, paired with its low population numbers doesn’t sustain the necessary infrastructure investments.

Therefore most services are limited to the densely populated areas in the Toronto - Quebec corridor, while Canada's transcontinental more..

___________Cultural Origins
Edit This

As well as having a varied geography and demographics, nowhere seems to be as culturally diverse as Canada. Canada encourages its citizens to remember and to celebrate their cultural heritage, no matter where they or their ancestors came from. This means that Canada has a wonderful cultural mosaic from which to draw on. Canada features a great variety of cultural and ethnic events and festivals that occur throughout the year and throughout the country. Perhaps because Canadian citizens are encouraged to remember their origins, it is sometimes difficult for people who live within Canada to see themselves as purely Canadian, and a lot of people pose the question "What exactly is it that makes Canadians Canadian?" Some say Canada's true identity lies in its diversity, that it is this mosaic that makes Canada unique. In the last thirty years mass immigration has taken place from all over the world, rather than mainly from Europe and the United States as it had in the past. This has led to even more cultural diversity than before. Of course for the visitor, this only adds to the attraction of a trip to Canada.

For more information on the history and culture of Canada please visit Canada's Cultural Gateway Culture.ca. Here you will find information on the various festivals that take place in Canada throughout the Year. You will also find information on Canadian arts and expression, media and publishing, sport, history and heritage, diversity, politics and geography.
