Winter in Quebec

First of all - Quebec is pronounced KEY-bec - and winter is pronounced COLD - every year.

Canadians have better things to do than hibernating during winter, and Quebec hosts two of the country’s best winter events.

Join the outdoor celebrations at the biggest outdoor winter carnival, the Quebec Winter Carnival. That’s 10 days of snowy merry-making starting 8 February 2019. Afterwards, head to  Montréal en Lumiere, from 21 February – 3 March 2019,an annual celebration drawing more than a million people together at the Quartier des spectacles, the festive heart of downtown Montreal. Music, circus arts, song, theatre and dance take centre stage during the 11-day festival, filled with free events and celebrations.

Why Manitoba is the next big thing

Arguably one of Canada’s most underrated provinces, Manitoba is in the spotlight, after being named one of Lonely Planet’s top ten regions to visit in 2019. Manitoba placed eighth by the world’s number one travel guidebook, whose Best in Travel annual list contains unique destinations with compelling reasons to visit in the year ahead.

Boasting the dynamic city of Winnipeg, the highest concentration of polar bears in the world, and as one of the best places to witness the northern lights, Canada’s ‘hidden gem’ is about to become the next big thing.

Foodie Delights of Newfoundland and Labrador

For hundreds of years, Newfoundlanders survived on whatever they could catch or cultivate locally, with distinctive Atlantic dishes cultivated and honed to perfection out of sheer necessity.

Today, visitors to the thriving province of Newfoundland and Labrador can feast on this unique cuisine passed down from generation to generation, rich in wild game, berries, root vegetables and seafood, especially cod. Read on for our pick of top eats in the capital city of St John’s and surrounding villages. 

Top of the list is Raymonds in St Johns for a formal dining experience rich in wild game such as moose and caribou, melt-in-your-mouth fresh cod and the freshest east coast fruits and vegetables. Head Chef Jeremy Charles designs sustainable menus that reflect what it means to be a true Newfoundlander, foraging and sourcing locally-grown ingredients.
