As a Canadian who happens to love the outdoors, I've heard of the beauty of Banff, Alberta since I was a child and have always dreamed of visiting. From the majestic mountains, gorgeous lakes to the hiking trails and the animals, it seemed the opportunities were endless and they all screamed for me to hop on a plane and visit. To be completely honest, in all of my imaginations I have envisioned visiting in the Winter season. When I was contacted by Banff Tourism and offered the chance to ...

Fern Resort – an amazing Ontario Travel Resort
Spring is in the air here and in years past we've headed to our trailer in cottage country to enjoy some much needed family time.

Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights Set to Begin

When one thinks of travelling to Niagara Falls, they usually picture Summer days with the sun shining upon them but there is a beauty which Winter lends to this world wonder which ...
