A land of diversity, wilderness and natural wonders as well
as culture, history and urban city centers, Canada is renowned for its
diversity. From the areas of Montreal, Quebec, Ontario and Toronto which are
home to millions of people, world class attractions and a wide variety of other
metropolitan features to the vast expanses of unspoiled wilderness in its

infamous gold region such as the smaller and yet no less amazing cities of
Dawson City and Whitehorese, a lifetime would be needed to even scratch the
surface of all it has to offer.
