[quote=Anonymous]We love Canada! My kids are a bit younger than yours at 13 and 15, but here’s what we’ve done over the years and have loved, in no particular order:

1. Meaford, ON- it’s a small town on the Georgian Bay and is at the start of the Georgian Trail for biking (and skiing).  There are many wineries and good apple pie! We biked along the Trail and saw only a few others out and about. It’s a very sleepy little town but they have cute shops.

2. The Maritimes- my kids aren’t into museums at all, but they did like the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and its Titanic exhibition in Halifax. The Halifax Public Gardens were lovely to walk around as well.  Besides doing the usual stuff like Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg, we went to Hopewell Rocks Park in New Brunswick and glamped in a tiny lighthouse overlooking the Bay of Fundy.  We also really liked PEI and the Anne of Green Gables play in Charlottetown, as well as biking the Confederation Trail there. The beaches are gorgeous too.

3. Vancouver Island- the first time we went, we stayed in Victoria and went to Butchart Gardens, but otherwise didn’t explore the island as it was a side trip from Seattle and Oregon.  The second time we went, we went to various towns around the island and rode horses.

4. Vancouver and Whistler- Vancouver itself was ok (liked Granville Public Market and walking around the area).  We went to an MiLB Vancouver Canadians game and really liked Capilano Suspension Bridge Park! In Whistler, we did more horseback riding and canoed on Alta Lake.

A note about Quebec/Montreal- the cities themselves were fine, but it wasn’t our family’s favorite Canadian trip. We rented paddle boats and quadricycles in Montreal.[/quote]
