art of Western Canada, bordering Canada’s westernmost province of British Columbia, Alberta is Canada’s only landlocked province, that is, it is surrounded only by land, without any route leading directly to the sea. Alberta has got quite a diverse terrain, which includes the snowy peaks of Rocky Mountains, glaciers, and lakes; the mutely beautiful flat prairies; and wild forests in the north.
Apart from the wide variety of nature you would get to feast your eyes on in Alberta, its two main cities, Edmonton, which is the capital of Alberta, and Calgary, are metropolitan urban cities in their own rights, which have many sightseeing options for tourists too.

From oceanside metropolitan cities to the rural interior to places like Whistler which turn into winter wonderlands, British Columbia has a wide range of places and experiences to offer to tourists.

The national winter sport of Canada and the most popular sport among all Canadians, Ice Hockey can be dated back to the 19th century when various stick and ball games, both from the United Kingdom and from the indigenous communities of Canada, influenced a new game into existence. It is as popular in Canada, both as a game and as a pastime, among people of all ages, as sports such as cricket and football are elsewhere in the world. Over time it has become quite popular internationally too and is even an Olympic sport.
As a land of cold and snow-capped peaks, with winters that last almost half the year in many regions, Canada is the perfect place for many winter sports, one of them being skiing. In fact, skiing has become one of the most popular recreational activities that draws tourists from all over the world to Canada.
Canada is indeed one of the premier destinations in the world for skiing. You can ski in almost all of Canada’s cities and provinces but the places in Canada that are the most famous for their skiing resorts are British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, a sub organisation of the United Nations, has
the task, among other things, of trying to preserve histories and important landmarks which are significant to regions and
cultures.
It does so by establishing World Heritage Sites that are of either cultural significance or of natural significance.
Being deemed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO gives them the status of protected sites under international treaties.
There are 20 such World Heritage Sites in Canada, some of them meeting the cultural criteria and others the natural criteria.

Canada is one of the few countries in the world where nature reigns supreme. Canada’s wilderness has always been distinctive and unique part of the country, although when it was first colonised the wilderness was seen as an anathema. But over the centuries the people who share this space with nature have come to have the same attitude towards it as the country’s indigenous population always had, which is to treasure and preserve the natural wonders the country is blessed with.
Anybody visiting Canada for the first time would probably want to familiarize themselves with Canadian culture and society which is said to be one of the most progressive and multicultural in the Western world. With influences ranging from European, including British and French, to American, Canadian culture shares affinities not only with those but is also shaped by the culture of the indigenous people residing in the country as well as the immigrants from all over the world who have made it their home. As such, it is a true melting pot of cultures, customs, languages, and arts. With truly progressive values promoted by government policies as well, such as publicly funded health care, better taxation system, efforts to eradicate poverty, gun control, legalisation of same-sex marriage, promotion of cultural and ethnic diversity, etc., it is one of the most progressive and liberal Western developed countries.
