Crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds and rich gravy all combine to create the meal of dreams, and this French Canadian food is so popular that it can now be found all around the world. The classic version is great on its own, but toppings like pulled pork, bacon and smoked meat really knock it out of the park – and at an average price of £3.50, it won’t break the bank either.]]> 2019-11-06 04:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407269552 Saskatoon berry pie talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407270564 The Saskatoon berry is often described as having a sweet and almondy flavour, which makes it an ideal candidate for the perfect pie.

There are plenty of chip flavours that can only be found in Canada! Many Canadians are die-hard devotees to the Ruffles all-dressed chip, which offers a bit of everything – from tomato and onion to salt, vinegar, sour cream and BBQ. Ketchup chips and dill pickle chips are also mega popular flavours native to the Canadian junk food scene.
    Unsurprisingly, there are speciality flavours like poutine and, of course, the inexplicably addictive Hickory Sticks – thin strips of potato with a mild BBQ flavour.

The town is a popular tourist attraction, providing plenty of picturesque sites and activities, that include climbing, skiing, cycling and more. Meanwhile, Banff Avenue is at the heart of the town. It features numerous cafes, restaurants, shops, and museums. The main street features historic architecture, which is interesting to explore.]]> 2019-11-06 04:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407271286 Hotel de Glace talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407271671 It might be the most beautiful ice hotel of all!

Meanwhile, Petit Champlain is the most popular and picturesque neighborhood: visitors come here to explore the historical architecture, narrow cobblestone streets and mural paintings. Moreover – it is the oldest shopping district in the whole continent!
    Why go there? The pedestrian street also features the Breakneck Stairs: built in 1635 it is the oldest stairway in Quebec. Wonderful panoramic views open from the top, overlooking Old Quebec. Besides all the historically significant buildings, little boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants also attract crowds.

However, this title is actually shared with another, with hockey being the country’s national winter sport and lacrosse the national summer sport. Hockey is still an immensely popular pastime, however, and fans across the country eagerly tune in to watch their favourite teams compete at the highest level. Many of the biggest teams play in the National Hockey League (NHL) which is comprised of franchises from across the United States and their northern neighbours. Ice hockey is a fierce game, fast-paced, and boasts some of the most passionate fans in all of sport. As far as the specific teams go, there are currently seven from Canada and the below are just a few of the most successful and popular.]]> 2019-11-06 05:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407273448 Toronto Maple Leafs talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407273544 The Toronto Maple Leafs play in the NHL’s Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference. The club was founded all the way back in 1917 and is today the second most valuable franchise in the league behind the New York Rangers. With the second most Stanley Cup wins in NHL history (the Stanley Cup being awarded to the NHL’s playoff winner), the team is incredibly successful, even though they have failed to win another since 1967. Fierce rivals of the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators, the Maple Leafs play their home games out of the Air Canada Centre – the arena being located in downtown Toronto. The ice hockey season runs between October and April and, once ready, the Maple Leafs playing schedule can be seen over on their website, where tickets are also available.]]> 2019-11-06 05:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407273544 Mount Asgard talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407273764 An impressive mountain, made of 2015 m (6610 ft) high twin towers, can be found in Auyuittuq National Park. The name comes from Scandinavian mythology, where Asgard is the kingdom of the gods, while it is called Sivanitirutinguak by the Inuit. The whole park is a wonderful place to visit, for its unspoiled nature, high peaks and enigmatic serenity.
    Why go there? Access is quite difficult, for there are really very few tourist facilities – only one official campsite throughout this huge nature reserve! 10-16 day tours are available both in summer and winter from Pangnirtung or Iqaluit.

Stemming from an aboriginal Canadian version of the game, the sport of lacrosse, as a result, has a long and important connection with this particular nation. The modern game has been popular since the 1800s, with its two main variants being field lacrosse (outdoors) and box lacrosse (indoors). The sport is governed by the Canadian Lacrosse Association, which conducts national junior and senior tournaments for both men and women. While field lacrosse is only played semi-professionally in North America’s Major League Lacrosse (MLL), box lacrosse is played professionally as part of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) across the continent. The NLL is split into an East and West division with Canada boasting four of the nine competing teams.]]> 2019-11-06 05:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407274098 Toronto Blue Jays talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407274351 As mentioned above, the Toronto Blue Jays are the only Canadian team that compete in MLB, playing their baseball as a member of the American League’s East Division. Established in 1977, the Blue Jays get their name from the North American bird. Despite being Canada’s sole representative, the Toronto Blue Jays have been enormously successful historically, winning five division championships in nine seasons between 1985 and 1993, three of which came in a row between 1991 and 1993. This hot streak also saw the Blue Jays win the coveted World Series back-to-back in 1992 and 1993. The team is also the last team to appear in a World Series from outside the United States. The team play their home games at the Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto. Tickets can be found along with the team’s schedule on their MLB website.]]> 2019-11-06 05:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407274351 Canada talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407274863 All about Canada]]> 2019-11-06 05:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407274863 Niagara Falls talisemclaen https://padlet.com/talisemclaen/8w3rttady2w0/wish/407275165 The most famous falls mark the border between Canada and USA. The natural wonder is made of three falls, that are sprawled in the Canadian and American territories. The waterfall attracts millions of tourists every year. It also serves as a source of hydroelectric power due to the incredible volume of water, that drops with immense power.
    Why go there? One of the greatest waterfalls in the world, with a comfortable viewpoint.
    When to go there? Anytime. It is impressive all year round, but in summer it gets quite crowded.

    Toronto's CN Tower is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, and when adding in the height of its antenna on top, it’s the tallest freestanding structure in the western hemisphere. If you want to be higher than the birds, get ready to take flight and zoom up to the top of this iconic building. If you are scared of heights, don’t look down.

The recipe was handed down in Graham Hooker’s family for generations, but it wasn’t until 1978 that he started to introduce it to a wider audience. A year later, he opened his first BeaverTails outlet in Ottawa to dole out the treat, which can come topped with sugar, Nutella and a variety of other sweets.
    Where to eat it: BeaverTails has since expanded across the country, with locations in Canadian landmarks such as Vancouver’s Grouse Mountain and Halifax’s Waterfront.
