Canoeing is a big part of our Canadian history. The First Nation people first used canoes to navigate the rivers and lakes of our country. For the longest time canoes have been the pioneers when it comes to discovering our Canadian rivers and lakes. There are some amazing historical long haul canoe paddle routes in […]
In British Columbia, Canada there is a small village named Burns Lake. For a long time forestry and the Babine Forest Products mill were the towns biggest employer… that was until Friday January 20th, 2012 when a fire raged into the night eventually burning the mill down to the ground. Now what? Many people became instantly unemployed. Some grieving […]
Jack Frost was nippin’ at my toes. A cold breeze slithered against my button red cheeks. My nose would make Rudolph proud. All the right conditions for a fantastic day in the snow. Snow is not evil, depressing or messy. Not in our world anyway. Snow is a welcomed change and a reminder that we […]
Winnipeg, Manitoba saw a surge in popularity in Canada partly because of the return of the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League. But for people who have visited Winnipeg before there is another reason to celebrate the region and it is called Assiniboine Park.

We have been working on the Manitoba EH website. While compiling our research I got lost in my thoughts and pictures when reviewing my notes on the Riding Mountain National Park near Dauphin, Manitoba. It was a treat of a park. A park which does not seem to get allot of recognition outside of Manitoba […]

Snow is falling in Western & Northern Canada and the sun is shining in Eastern Canada. Best of both worlds. When the weather starts to disagree from one side of the country to the other there is only one clear conclusion… winter is just around the corner. Yahoooo! Regardless of some of the rumors out […]
Canada is a country of provincial provinces managed from provincial capital cities under the watchful and, sometimes, manipulative eye of our Federal Government based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. But this a tourism blog and not a political blog so we will not go there… thank my stars or else I would lull you to sleep. […]
Tourismopoly peaks at this time of year in Canada. All the big money corporations, DMOs (Destination Marketing Organizations), Chamber of Commerces and the many regional tourism associations hook up, pat themselves on the back, give themselves awards and meet with their respective Government officials to discuss how great they are. We are never invited for […]
Talk to most people not from Canada or read some of the magazine articles written by people who visited Canada during some foul weather and it would be easy to think that Canada is all about rain, storms and snow. It irks me when bad press is taken as fact when these so-called experts have […]
Nova Scotia, Canada… what would I do if we could only only visit 10 ( plus 2) destinations in the province of Nova Scotia? Had a hard time narrowing it down to 10… oh well, consider it a big tip. We asked ourselves… would we spend all our time lazing around on the many world […]
Newfoundland, Canada provided our EH Tourism Team many memories this following year. Some memories are embedded so deep into our souls they have changed us forever. There were some amazing adventures that way exceeded our expectations. There were some adventures which were downplayed by local tourism which surpassed our wildest dreams. And there were sights […]
Baddeck , Nova Scotia… here we plan and talk tourism setting goals, budgets and reviewing our competition as we wait to move into our winter retreat on Prince Edward Island, Canada with our good friends at the Eberlee House. We forge ahead putting the pedal to the metal, pen to paper… punching keyboards like […]
The community of Sidney, Nova Scotia is the port city of the province and the largest city on Cape Breton Island. There are cruise ships steaming in and out, sailboats silently sway back and forth way off in the distance and just down the coastline in North Sidney is the ferry terminal connecting travelers to […]
In Placentia, Newfoundland we waited for our 3:30 PM sailing from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. It was a 12 hour tour sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Prior to our sailing we spent much of our time in a local coffee house named Philips’s Cafe. The owners of the Cafe, Philip and Linda, were some amazing […]
We have traveled almost full circle… hard to believe really since we did it on a shoe string budget overcoming many opportunities and obstacles along the way. However… our determination and a will to succeed prevailed. Now we must focus on putting all the information we collected together building our EH Tourism travel websites on […]
The Baccalieu Route explores one of the four dominant peninsulas on the Avalon Peninsula via Highway 70 (scenic route) and Highway 75 (highway route). Along the route you visit with many small villages – some located at the end of dead end streets, some at the end of long spits and some sunken into ocean […]
In May 2007 Bro and I set off on a wild adventure crisscrossing, back and forth, across Canada self researching tourism communities and adventures. The research mission would take allot of determination and a little luck… we figured as much so. And that excited us even more. Our goal was to travel across the country […]
