In
the world of traveling, there are plenty of great resources available to both
new and experienced travelers alike. There are many websites, guides, books,
videos, and other resources available. By writing this blog I hope that I am
providing valuable information about the wonderful vacation destinations in Canada.

Read
the article below for a remarkable perspective on Saskatchewan.
Despite it's fascinating ability to be one of the most
overlooked provinces to consider to travel to, Saskatchewan has a lot to see.
For somebody not accustom to seeing the mighty prairies of central Canada, the
view can truly take you away.
Regina Saskatchewan
Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, and one of the
major stops if you're driving through Saskatchewan. Rather than just sticking
on the Trans Canada and driving through, pull over for a day. There's plenty to
see. From the bars and clubs of Dewdney St, located in the downtown Warehouse
District of Regina, to the famous Wascana Park, where the beautiful man-made
Wascana Lake is found, you shouldn't have a hard time finding something to see
or do while visiting Regina.
Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
Famous for it's place in history as one of the major
stops for bootlegging during prohibition, it has more to offer than the famous
"Tunnels of Moose Jaw". If you're in need of some relaxation, head on
down to the Moose Jaw Spa and enjoy the genitil mineral waters it has to offer.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Nicknamed "Paris of the Prairies", Saskatoon
has plenty to offer for the curious traveler. The Saskatchewan River rolls
through this amazing prairie city, and has several walking trails for you to
stretch your legs, and take in the sights and sounds of this budding prairie
mini-metropolis.
Cypress Hills
If you're looking to take in the best view of the
prairies, head west to the border of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Cypress Hills
National Park straddles this area, and offers the best vantage point for
capturing he rolling rills and flatlands of Saskatchewan. Camping is available
year round. If you'd rather sleep in style, there are a couple resort style
hotels and bed & breakfasts available as well.
Where ever you chose to travel in Saskatchewan, be sure to take in the smell of
gravel roads, the sights of thriving farming communities, and the unique
relaxed lifestyle of the folks of Saskatchewan.

Travel is
so much more that simply hopping on a flight to a new destination. If you plan
it correctly, it could be a thrilling time you'll never forget. Planning a trip
is fun as there are tons of things to do and see. Do you know how to plan a
trip effectively? Packing light is key to making your travels as easy and free
of stress as possible. Bring one carryon bag that includes everything you need,
not necessarily everything you want. Your smart packing will pay off when you
are happily carrying one bag around on vacation instead of lugging around
multiple bags. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
See & Do
See
The
Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is in the extreme southwest corner of the
province, sharing a border with Alberta's half of the park. Historical Fort
Walsh as well as the highest point in the province can be found in the Cypress
Hills.
Hockey
is taken very seriously in Saskatchewan, and matches can be extremely intense,
as well as entertaining. Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Swift Current and
Regina all host teams in the Western Hockey League, the top level of Junior
Hockey in the world.
Be
sure to check out historical sites relating to the settlement of the west and
the North West Rebellion of 1885. Fort Carlton, Batoche, and Duck Lake ae
within distance of Saskatoon for a day trip.
A
very passionate pastime for Saskatchewan residents is to cheer on their
Canadian Football League team: The Saskatchewan Roughriders. Saskatchewanians
are known for their loyalty and "Rider Pride". A Rider game is always
party and spectacle as many of the fans show up to the game wearing watermelons
on their heads!
A
Wolf Adventure is a Provincially licensed, Canadian based wolf outreach /eco
lodge that fosters and promotes a healthy respect of wildlife and surrounding
habitat. A Wolf Adventure is home to some Gray wolves of various subspecies
including the elusive and rare Arctic wolf. A Wolf Adventure strives to foster
an appreciation, not just of a highly misunderstood rarely seen wild animal,
but most importantly the natural wild lands.
Saskatchewan
is also the home of the RCMP Academy, Depot Division (commonly known as
"Depot"; pronounced /ˈdɛpoʊ/, not /ˈdiːpoʊ/) that has been providing police training to Royal
Canadian Mounted Police "cadets" since its establishment in 1885. The
facility is in the west part of Regina, Saskatchewan, near the airport, and
consists of several buildings. The RCMP Heritage Centre is located right next
to the RCMP Training Academy at 5907 Dewdney Avenue. Through the use of
permanent and temporary exhibits, multimedia technologies, and extensive
programming, the Heritage Centre tells the RCMP story and educates Canadians
and the world about the past, present and future of the RCMP within Canada and
abroad.*
In
stark contrast to the prairies of southern Saskatchewan is its northern half.
The area north of Prince Albert is sparsely populated and dotted with
freshwater lakes. It is best accessed by rental car however travelers should be
aware that communities are separated by great distances in the provinces north
and services are limited. Scheduled flights are also available to LaRonge from
Saskatoon through smaller airline. The trek to northern Saskatchewan had only
one purpose, to experience untouched wilderness, canoeists and fisherman will
be well rewarded by its waterways.
·Hunting & Fishing
Eat
A
peculiarity among most small towns in Saskatchewan is that they have a small
Chinese Restaurant.
Drink
Drinking
age in Saskatchewan is 19. Great Western Brewing operates the old Molson brew
house in Saskatoon. They produce beers ranging from extra-gravity malt liquor
to mid-grade amber and pale ales. There is a provincial law basically giving
anyone that operates a "brewpub" automatic off sales privileges.
Because of this, many bars have started extract-based "brewpubs" in
order to acquire their off-sales license. These beers are very poor quality
compared to beers made from true ingredients. In small towns, locals prefer
cheap beer and rye whiskey. One local favorite is Old Style Pilsner, a
no-frills brew with a most unique label. Water quality in Saskatchewan ranges
but is generally above average.
Leisure
travel is
a wonderful experience that everyone should have in their lifetime. Even
business travel can be made enjoyable. There are some aspects of travel that
can detract from your enjoyment. When
planning to fly for a trip, don't forget any frequent flier miles you might
have racked up. It does you no good to hang onto those once you've already gone
on your big vacation. Even if you don't have enough miles to cover the whole
trip, many airlines will allow you to discount your rate using your miles. When you want to
plan a vacation contact me!

Nightlife in Saskatchewan
There are several
nightclubs in the major cities; many bars and restaurants in most main towns
have live entertainment as well as music and dancing. The best times for
nightlife are during the annual summer fairs held regularly in all the major
towns. The emphasis changes in each town and according to the time of year. An
example can be found in the capital, Regina, with a festival lasting several
days - Buffalo Days.
The preparation for a vacation is almost as
exhilarating as the vacation itself. I love printing out the tickets and
confirmations while thinking about how much fun I will have on vacation. I
think that some of the best destinations in the world are located in the Canada.
So I am continuing my tour across Canada. When
you want to plan a vacation contact me!
Things
to see and do in Saskatchewan
Birdwatching
The south of the province
is particularly good for birdwatching. The Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve
Network sites of Chaplin Lake and Quill Lakes (www.quill-lakes.com)
are home to more than 300 species including rare ferruginous hawks, peregrine
falcons and Hudsonian godwits.
Fishing
The season runs from May
to March, and ice fishing is popular in winter. There are more than 68 species
found in Saskatchewan's 100,000 lakes, rivers and streams. Standout fishing
opportunities are available on Lac La Ronge and on the Churchill River.
High
point
Surprisingly, Saskatchewan
is home to the highest point of land between Labrador and the Rocky Mountains,
where you can look upon the forested oasis of Cypress Hills Interprovincial
Park.
Lovely
lakes
Fort Qu'Appelle overlooks
two shimmering and serene lakeside provincial parks, Katepwa Point and Echo
Valley. Further east, Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park is also very pretty.
Mounties
The provincial capital of
Regina, named after Queen Victoria, is the home of Canada's world-famous
Mounties, with the country's only training academy for Royal Canadian Mounted
Police and the RCMP Heritage Centre (www.rcmpheritagecentre.com)
Parades and rodeos
Buffalo Days (www.evrazplace.com)
in the capital, Regina, is a festival lasting several days in late July and
early August. On the west side of the province, Swift Current also hosts an
annual Frontier Days Festival.
Prince Albert National Park
This park (www.pc.gc.ca) is
a hilly, forested area with hundreds of lakes, ponds and rivers. Wildlife
includes bison, white pelicans (Lavallée Lake), lynx, timber wolf, elk, moose
and black bear. Waskesiu Lake has accommodation and camping.
Prohibition rum-runners
The quiet town of Moose
Jaw achieved notoriety in the 1920s for hosting gangsters, including Al
'Scarface' Capone, and playing a pivotal role in the distilling, bootlegging
and rum-running business. Follow the story on a tour of the Tunnels of Moose
Jaw.
Scenic
drive
The Trans-Canada Highway
(Highway 1) cuts through the cavernous Qu'Appelle Valley, a sunken garden
studded with lakes that runs across much of the province.
Spas
Manitou Beach has the
Manitou Springs Mineral Spa (www.manitousprings.ca),
where you can relax and float effortlessly in the salty, warm, mineral-rich
waters, which are pumped from Little Manitou Lake into pools in the spa and are
believed to provide relief from a variety of ailments.
Temple Gardens
Stressed-out urbanities
take the waters in the hot indoor and outdoor mineral pools at Moose Jaw's
Temple Gardens Mineral Spa and Resort (www.templegardens.sk.ca),
drawn from porous rock formations more than 1,350m (4,500ft) below ground.
Ukrainian heritage
Ukrainian settlers played
a prominent role in Saskatchewan. Following the Yellowhead Highway (Highway
16), running eastwards from Saskatoon to Yorkton, near the border with
Manitoba, is a good way to tour the grain belt and see the area's many
silver-domed Orthodox churches, such as that at Veregin.
Wascana Centre
Regina's centerpiece, the
Wascana Centre (www.wascana.sk.ca), is a huge urban park containing
the MacKenzie Art Gallery and the Conexus Arts Centre, and providing an
impressive setting for the Legislative Building, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum
and the Kramer IMAX Theatre at the Saskatchewan Science Centre.
Wintersports
Skiing, skating and ice
hockey are all available. There are at least 13 downhill and more than 25
cross-country skiing areas. Curling is also so popular it has been named the
official sport of Saskatchewan.
It
doesn't matter if you take a trip across the state line or the border, being
far from home can be exciting and also a bit stressful. When considering
traveling, it is important to think of the best mode of travel. Traveling by car can offer
many more sights and opportunities for side trips. Traveling by train can offer
a chance to relax and get some work done if they wanted. Planes can cover
ground fast but don't allow much movement and one cannot get off the plane in
flight. Each mode of travel has its own advantages and disadvantages to be
considered. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
The origin of the name
'Saskatchewan' is the subject of some debate. Some think it comes from a Cree
word for 'swift-flowing river' (Kisisskatchewan).
That would be apt, because the province has close to 100,000 lakes and rivers.
Although Saskatchewan is commonly thought of as consisting mainly of vast
prairies, the landscape is quite varied.
The
wide, treeless plains in the south are broken up by river valleys and ranges of
low-lying hills. There are large forests in the north of the province, and
Saskatchewan's two national parks, Prince Albert National Park in the north and
Grasslands National Park in the southwest, cover nearly 5 million acres (2 million
hectares) between them.
Indeed,
Saskatchewan is not a province to escape to for a slice of urban lifestyle:
there are few permanent cities and many northern regions are accessible only by
air. This is, instead, a laid-back province with a pleasant remoteness.
Although
there is definitely adventure and rodeo for those who seek it, perhaps you are
best off savouring Saskatchewan's nature and wildlife: wolves, moose and
caribou inhabit the northern forests, while elk and deer can be found farther
south.
Food
and Drink in Saskatchewan
You can find a good
selection of restaurants in all the province's cities and major towns catering
to all tastes and budgets. Alcohol is sold only in licensed stores, licensed
restaurants, cocktail lounges, and dining and beverage rooms. Retail outlets
operate throughout the province.
Regional
Specialties
-Whitefish and pickerel are marketed by
aboriginal (First Nations) co-operatives. -Wild rice harvested by First Nations
people is an excellent accompaniment to the abundant wild fowl which includes
partridge, prairie chicken, wild duck and goose. -Saskatoon berries, similar to
blueberries, are used for jams, jellies and saskatoon berry pie, often eaten
with fresh cream. Other wild berries include pinchberries and cranberries,
which make a tart and tangy jelly, ideal with wild fowl meals.
Tipping It is customary to tip 15%
in bars and restaurants.
Traveling
can be a great way to meet new people and experience other cultures. New
friends are waiting to meet you in places you have only dreamed of traveling. It
can be a wonderful way to see all that the world has to offer. Travel can be a
hobby and an adventure that will lead you to unexpected places. Canada is a close locations to take vacations.

“Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world.”
There is nothing more exciting than travelling. Whether
you are going for a road trip to see something new in your own state, or
heading off to Canada for the very first time to visit a city you have always
dreamed of, there are some travel
basics that you should know. Travel in the
off seasons from November to April, to avoid crowds,
save money and enjoy temperate weather. In those months, many families with
children cannot travel due to school commitments, making many tourist
attractions much less crowded. This may also result in lower costs for airfare
and hotels. When
you are ready to plan a vacation contact me!
Shopping in Calgary
As a
shopping destination, Calgary offers visitors the opportunity to buy something
that captures the flavor of the city and country along with sophisticated
boutique products that you would expect to find in any major international
city.
Key Areas
The main
shopping district is in downtown Calgary, notably along Stephen Avenue Walk (8h
Avenue SW), a pedestrian walkway lined with historic buildings housing shops,
galleries and restaurants. For Western gear, there are Riley & McCormick
stores at 220 Stephen Avenue Walk and at the airport. Micah Gallery, Unit 112,
100 7th Avenue (Art Central) has a good selection of native and Western art.
For more
upmarket shopping, try Uptown 17th Avenue SW, known as The Red Mile, with
fashion boutiques, antique stores and Mount Royal Village - one of the city's
more high-end malls.
Away from
the skyscrapers, Kensington, just north of Downtown, is a pleasant, walkable neighborhood
with an eclectic mix of shops and cafés.
Markets
The city center’s
best known retail asset is the Eau Claire Market, 2nd Street at 2nd Avenue SW,
with an interior that houses restaurants and a small, fresh-food market, around
which are lined a variety of specialty shops and kiosks. In 2011, the Calgary
Farmers' Market moved to a new, purpose-built location at 510 77th Avenue SE.
The market offers fresh produce year-round, and is open Thursday to Sunday.
Shopping
Centers
Around
Stephen Avenue Walk, The CORE is a super-complex of shopping malls linked by
plus-15 walkways and offering over 160 stores. The range includes retail
chains, department stores and specialty boutiques. The mall's indoor park, the
Devonian Gardens, is undergoing extensive renovation, and is expected to reopen
in summer 2012.
For a
more unique experience, track down the latest gems from local artists and
innovative designers at Art Central, 7th Avenue and Fashion Central, 1st Street
at 8th Avenue.
The
Chinook Centre, south of Downtown, at the intersection of Macleod Trail and
Glenmore Trail, is Calgary's largest shopping center. It has over 250 shops, a
cinema, food court and a full-scale dinosaur model created from farm machinery
parts.
CrossIron
Mills, 30 minutes northeast of Downtown at 261055 CrossIron Boulevard, is an
outlet store designed to represent a tour of Alberta, with over 200 shops and
restaurants in themed ‘neighborhoods’'.

Monday to Saturday 0930/1000-2100 and Sunday 1100-1800, though hours vary.
Souvenirs
If you're searching for an
Albertan souvenir, you can pick up all manner of cowboy boots and hats, leather
goods, art, jewelry or consumable treats such as exquisite chocolate or craft
beer (try the Wild Rose and Big Rock brewery ales).
Tax Information
One thing that makes Calgary
a compelling destination for shoppers is the fact that the Province of Alberta
charges no provincial sales tax, resulting in better shopping value than in
other Canadian provinces. Nevertheless, a federal Goods and Services Tax (GST)
of 5% is charged and is non-refundable.
Dining in
Calgary
Calgary's restaurant scene
has expanded hugely in the past few years thanks to the city's rapid growth.
Calgarians love eating out, and local chefs are proving increasingly inventive
in their menus. Whether you're into burger joints or fine dining, there's a
vast array of places to choose from.
The Calgary restaurants
below have been hand-picked by our guide author and are grouped into three
pricing categories:
Expensive (over C$65) Moderate (C$45 to C$65) Cheap (up to C$45)
These Calgary restaurant prices are for a three-course meal for one, including
taxes and tip but not drinks. A tip of 15 to 20% is customary.
Charcut Roasthouse Moderate
A hit among locals, Charcut Roasthouse isn't just a meal out: it's
an experience. The chefs are on view - you can dine literally under their
noses. Behind you'll spy cuts of cured and smoking meats. Start off with tasty
kitchen pickles, then share small plates of spicy coppa sausage, rabbit terrine
or pork croquettes. Wash these down with a local beer or handcrafted cocktail.
Co-owner Connie DeSousa came third in the 2011 TV seriesTop Chef Canada.
Walk into Sunterra Market
and you might be tempted by the ground-floor grocery store selling top-quality
fresh produce and take-away meals. Head upstairs and you can grab an
inexpensive lunch or dinner either from the counter (pizza, pasta, burgers etc.)
or in the sit-down lounge. The outdoor patio feels a million miles away from
the busy roads of Downtown and has BBQs in summer.
This contemporary steakhouse in a vintage building in the business
district is a meat lover's paradise. The house specialty is the Alberta Angus
beef, although seafood, salads and tapas are also available. Diners can choose
from a traditional dining room or the more casual tavern with plush leather
chairs and booths. The 300-label wine list has been recognized byWine Spectatormagazine in its 2010 and 2011
excellence awards. Live blues and jazz at the weekend.
This smart Calgary
restaurant, located next to the Centre for the Performing Arts, occupies a
beautifully restored 1911 bank building on Olympic Plaza. Teatro serves modern
Italian cuisine featuring local, seasonal organic products, while all the
breads and pastries are baked fresh on the premises. There's an extensive
award-winning wine list; the wine cellar (housed in the original bank vaults)
holds over 10,000 bottles. Reservations recommended.
This Chinatown
establishment has been around for more than 40 years. The traditional Cantonese
and Szechuan menu, prepared by a small army of Hong Kong-trained chefs,
features over 200 dishes, including delicious dim sums. You can pick your own
live crab or lobster from a seafood tank and pair it with a variety of
dressings such as green pepper and black bean sauce or spring onion and ginger.
The concept of this
Calgary restaurant is to feel welcomed and at home. Wine is a big feature of
the restaurant and is served by the glass, so you can sample more than one
variety. Most dishes come on tasting plates which might include octopus, bison
or Alberta steak. Daily specials feature the best available local and seasonal
produce.
This award-winning, stylish restaurant in downtown Calgary serves
modern Canadian food made from locally sourced ingredients. Game and seafood
feature prominently on the menu. New York-style atmosphere. Elegant décor,
flattering lighting and skylights provide a stunning view of the Calgary Tower above.
The Belvedere has been rated byWine Spectatormagazine
for seven consecutive years as having one of top 500 wine lists in the world.
Located in Central
Memorial Park, Boxwood is a lovely spot for lunch or cake – try duck egg and
avocado on focaccia followed by BC blueberry coffee cake and ice cream for a
treat. There's a scrummy afternoon snack menu, while dinner specialties include
rotisserie meats and healthy salads. Boxwood's sister restaurant, River Café in
Prince's Island Park, is also recommended.
One of the coolest
restaurants in Calgary sports a retro design, with circular white booths, Asian
décor and an oriental garden. The menu reflects Asian, Mediterranean and Latin
influence and is fresh, organic and healthy. You might taste roasted halibut with
grilled prawns and green curry risotto, or stuffed poblano pepper with
courgette, butternut squash, ricotta and mascarpone. Very popular with the
business lunch crowd.
