September Travel Display: CANADA

Canada, Land of the Maple Leaf, our neighbor to the north, vast in size, diverse in culture, varied in terrain, offers vacation opportunities for all. Attractions abound throughout the land. Visit the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, the CN Tower in Toronto, the charming villages of the Gaspe Peninsula, the majestic lakes and mountains of the Canadian Rockies. There are provincial towns, world-class cities, native cultures, wilderness and wildlife to explore. If you are intrigued by Canadian travel possibilities, use the Library's resources to help you plan your vacation. Our Travel Center will feature a selection of Canadian travel guides and travel kits.
