General Resources
on Canada
1. About
Canada
This Government of Canada website is a key "entry point"
for anything you want to know about Canada.
2.“The
Grand Theatre of Canadian History”
This article I wrote recently gives a good overview of why Canada
is a a highly significant and meaningful destination (accessible,
affordable, diverse, beautiful, safe and secure, and easy to plan).
3. The
Atlas of Canada
For maps and related information to Canada this
is a great resource.
4. The
Canadian Encyclopedia
This online encyclopedia is the definitive
source for all things Canadian, be it geographical, cultural, political,
or whatever. It is also the most reliable source for the facts. Developed
originally by a major publisher and many well-known experts (and funded
by a Canadian philanthropist), the Canadian Encyclopedia is now online,
updated regularly, and free to use.
5. The
Canadian Tourism Commission
This is Canada's number one federal government
department whose mandate it is to stimulate and support travel and
tourism business. There is a general user-friendly map of Canada on
this page.
6. Provincial and Territorial
Tourist Bureaus/Convention and Visitors Bureaus
Canada has 10 provinces and three territories.
Below you will find links for each:
Newfoundland
and Labrador; Nova Scotia;
Prince Edward Island;
New Brunswick; Québec;
Ontario;
Manitoba; Saskatchewan;
Alberta; British
Columbia; Yukon; Northwest
Territories; Nunavut
7.
The
Travel Industry Association of Canada
As the name suggests, this is the Canadian
national organization of the travel and tourism industry.
