Oh Canada! How lucky we are. When it comes to vacations we have it all ... right here at home. Sea-shores, lakes and mountains, cities and hamlets, museums and gardens, winter sports and summer delights. If travel restrictions keep us thinking about vacations in Canada, we couldn’t be more fortunate. So how about resolving to learn something of our history and, perhaps, sharing it with our children.
