One of the best ways to get good travel information is to check with folks who know a lot about the area in which you plan to visit. I recommend that after you get the general information you are seeking about Canada, you check with Allexperts (Allexperts - Canada! ) for specific information about the places you plan to visit. It is a great site! Ask volunteer experts questions about travel and tourism, and attractions for free!
