About Canada
With awe-inspiring scenery and a rich tapestry of culture, Canada has got everything to fulfil the desires of even the most seasoned traveller. Canada has influences from England, France and its neighbouring country, the US within its culture. Both English and French are the official languages of Canada, with both being used at a Federal Level. Canada is geographically the second largest county, 2nd only to Russia. With its un-tamed natural landscapes Canada is an adventurer’s play-ground. At the same time its major cities maintain a modern lifestyle with an abundance of cafés, markets and attractions. Canada is truly a diverse place that has something to offer for everyone.
