» BC's Resorts Suit Up for Another Season of Exceptional Snow

By Steven Threndyle, HelloBC

Last year it was all about the snow - and there was plenty of it.

Coming off an incredible season, with above-average, and in some cases near-record snowfalls across the province (including over 46 feet at Whistler Blackcomb), BC's destinations are hoping for a repeat of last year's epic snow. And with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games on the horizon, the province's resorts are focusing on improvements and upgrades to ensure that all is in order when British Columbia welcomes the world in two and a half years.

Windsor, Ontario

Down South in Windsor

What Canadian city combines unique museums, classical concerts, festivals, and much more, all situated as far south as the United States? While many cities have a wide variety of activities and sights for tourists and locals to enjoy, Windsor has a special character born of its history and location. With museums, art galleries, concerts, and sights to see, Windsor has something for everyone.

Windsor's location as the southernmost Canadian city has given it an intriguing history. Across the river from Detroit, Windsor played an important role in the nineteenth century as a point of entry for the Underground Railroad transporting escaped slaves to freedom in Canada. Statues at the City Hall Esplanade on the waterfront commemorate that contribution. Nearby, the Charlie Brooks Peace Fountain celebrates Canadians' roles in promoting peace. Windsor has a long history; it was settled in 1748 as a French agricultural society and has been inhabited ever since, making it one of the oldest continuously-occupied cities in North America. A large French community still exists in Windsor, and the many French street names recall the city's background. Windsor officially became a village in 1854 before becoming a town in 1858 and finally a city in 1892. Now a city of over 200,000 people, Windsor is the centre of many industries and cultural activities.

Windsor is a popular tourist destination because of the short distance from the US border. Car enthusiasts might wish to see the Chrysler mini-van plant, one of the Ford Motor Company facilities, or another of the automobile manufacturing factories. For those visitors who prefer family-oriented activities, Windsor Water World is a good place to spend an afternoon or an entire day, while the XS Family Fun Centre gives children the chance to burn off energy with laser tag, go-karts, and other games. When these activities are done, Market Square is a good place to visit for its five different restaurants and many vendors selling baked goods, meat, cheese, and more.

Thank you to the hundreds of people who have added photographs to our galleries since the last issue. A couple of great shots added this month include:

Hiking Trails in Mont Tremblant, Quebec by Martin Bellemare and Port Darlington, Lake Ontario by Mike Page.

Some of the most noteworthy photographs have been of Canada's varied wildlife. Joe Mazza has a remarkable photo of a Salamander Blending In - well spotted and well captured.

Lots of other wildlife photographs can be found in the Wildlife Photo Galleries.

Well done! Great shots!
Keep snapping and keep adding.
