The best wines in the world seem to come from temperate, warm places like France, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, South America and California. It sometimes comes as a surprise to people, then, that Canada—often associated with cold, harsh weather patterns—has a booming wine industry that has been producing world-class vintages for decades. Canadian wine has garnered the country international recognition as a producer of fine, award-winning vino.
Canadians welcome, celebrate and appreciate summertime in a way that only residents of a country which receives six months of cold and snowy winters can. For many, one of the most anticipated and exciting aspects of summer, along with the long days and hot weather, are the many music festivals that take place in the country between June and September.
Far north of much of the world, and indeed most of Canada itself, lies
the Northwest Territories—a vast and enigmatic wilderness above the
60th parallel. Encompassing equal parts of wild arctic tundra, great
rivers, dramatic mountain scenery and isolated communities, it is one
of the country's last frontiers.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
