Hello Raquelle

Canada's vast and magnificent scenery stretches as far south as the latitude of Rome and all the way up to the North Pole. In this issue we discover the different Hot Springs in Alberta and British Columbia and the variety they offer. We also head north to witness the Northern Lights and explore the culture and happenings of Canada's territories. Finally, we tour the natural wonders of New Brunswick from the highest tides in the world to one of the strangest hills.

» A Walk on BC's Wild Side

by Sue Kernaghan
Every year, the villagers of Tofino and Ucluelet, on Vancouver Island's west coast, enjoy front row seats for one of the world's great animal migrations.

After 125 Years: more than a train station

People enjoy birthday parties for the cake, the birthday hats, and the joy as family and friends celebrate a year gone by and the anticipation of another yet to come.

We've had a busy summer!

With all the sunshine we decided to stay indoors and redesign Trail Canada! The new website is designed to be easier to navigate and switch between related sections.

Trail Canada has more than just a fresh new look... we have more than 200 new destination guides, more photos, better maps and much more to enjoy.

One of my favourite bits is the add a photo feature. Now you can submit your photos of Canada. We've already had hundreds of submissions so give it a try.
