Places To Take Family
As a kid I was lucky enough to take a coast to coast train trip, visiting 7/10 provinces in one fell swoop (NB to BC). IT might be a bit much to do on a single trip these days but I would really enjoy doing this as an adult taking my family with them to explore Canada and learn about the diversity of cultures across this country.
