The more adventurous types should head to Calgary for the Calgary Stampede. Held annually since 1912, it is a full-out summer event that lasts for 10 days and showcases the best of the west with concerts, chuckwagon races and bandstand shows. If playing in the snow is more your thing, check out Whistler, British Columbia, coincidentally one of the spots for the 2010 Winter Olympics. There you'll find world class skiing and snowboarding, along with shopping and entertainment amenities.
If you're taking a vacation as a honeymoon, a romantic trip or are just looking for the perfect date getaway, check out Fairholme Manor just outside Victoria, British Columbia. In an old Victorian setting, it includes a beautiful and secluded room and breakfast, and is within walking distance of the ocean. Or if you love the sea, romance her on the Brass Bell, a bed and breakfast that is situated in a fully furbished private yacht. Heading to Saskatoon, you could try a nightly cruise on the Saskatoon Princess, where cruisers ride up the South Saskatchewan River, enjoying music, dinner and dancing.
For relaxation or to recharge your batteries, a serene setting like Western Canada may be the perfect destination. The luxurious and exclusive five-star Sonora Resort on Sonora Island can only be reached by seaplane, and while there you'll indulge in viewing wildlife, playing golf and visiting their state-of-the-art spa facilities. If something more simple is more up your alley, see Resources below for a list of camping spots in western Canada where you can stretch out under the stars and relax in the great outdoors.
