Canadian tourist attractions?

Canada is a HUGE country - the 2nd biggest in the world. You are going to have to be a lot more specific. It can take a couple weeks just driving across it, and not even stopping to see things. But, with the hints you have given, it seems you like wilderness. I would suggest BC, and Yukon as being places to visit. But, you need to really look carefully; e.g., the Northern lights are great from Yukon, but, there is no darkness in summer. I live in the Klondike near Dawson City, and we already don't have true darkness, and it is steadily getting lighter. The best time to see Northern Lights is around March or so. Then, they can cover the entire sky (I've seen that plenty of times). Now? You wouldn't be able to see them at all - it's not dark enough. Hockey is also a winter sport. Summers in Canada can be very hot! Very few are open in summer. And, very few, if any, have "drop-in" hockey, especially if you have no equipment. The West Edmonton Mall has a skating rink in it. Again, it is not great ice in the summer due to the heat, but, it is one of few rinks actually open in summer. But, for wilderness, you're in. E.g., it is 2 hours from my place to the next village on, which has 40 people. In between? Nothing. Well, a lodge open in summer, but, the rest is mountains and trees. It is pretty common to see wildlife, even by the highway. Much of BC, and Yukon is like that. Some of the things you want to see would need a winter trip, but, many tourist facilities close down n winter. So, it will be a balance - summer is by far the best time to come, but, some of the things you want will be unavailable.

It depends what part of the country u go to we have ice rinks all over Canada. NIagara falls is nice best to look online for attractions for the province you want to go to.Hard question to answer really not knowing where you are going in Canada as we are a bigger country than usa.

Canada is the second largest nation in area on earth. You haven't said where in Canada you want to visit, how long you're going to visit nor what time of year. Knowing this would help.

Depends what you're interested in. Canada's basically one big tourist attraction: British Columbia - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dewskSsSTV4&feature=BFa&list=FLj6powZaSK7c8osfWheBzHA&lf=plcp The Northwest Territories - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z1-LLZmrsY Nunavut - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Lj3fENjsA Vancouver - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-enK5zZm_fc Banff & Lake Louise - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbh8kcX-0Zg Edmonton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAcjUtAv32I Toronto - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YURQ28XZUA Quebec City - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErlP6n7u19Q&feature=relmfu Prince Edward Island - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Iei32AUJfc It's hard to recommend what someone should see when there's so much of everything here. About the northern lights: They're most active during our winter months, December through March. There's no guarantees of seeing them, but Canada's far north is where they're most consistent. But winter means weather so extreme it has to be experienced to be believed. But its oh-so-worth it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFhiWtaMsjs Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories 'the' place to go to see the Aurora Borealis. Just not in summer: That far north is the Land of the Midnight Sun because the sun never fully sets in summer. (And in winter the sun never fully rises, either.) Ice skating and ice hockey is likewise a winter activity. There's few arenas that maintain a year-round ice surface. (In summer we run around in shorts and t-shirts playing ball hockey.) But in winter, nearly every town and city in Canada has rinks for hockey & skating. Hope this helps a bit and that you have fun visiting here! Edit: Canada's so damn big that temperatures vary by region. Up in the Canadian Arctic, a hot summer is temperatures well above the freezing mark. Further south (MUCH further) Summer of 2011 here in Ontario was hot as blazes: "Temperatures hit 37.9°C, feeling like 49 with humidity, making it the hottest July 21 ever as well as the warmest day in July. Additionally, the humidex at XTO (University of Toronto's downtown campus) was 51 at 1 p.m. Thursday afternoon." That's damn hot by Canadian standards. Typical summer weather for most regions are temps in the upper 20s with humidity factored in. And it gets quite humid here: We've got over 50% of the world's freshwater lakes & rivers. Even with satellites & computers there's no definitive word on how many lakes we have. They seemed to have given up counting after reaching 3 million. (Yes, million.)

I depends where Canada you are going... it's a big country. Place not to miss: Montreal (mostly French speaking), Ottawa, Toronto, and I like Victoria more than Vancouver personally. Also, it depends on what you are interested in. If you are interested in wild life, I would suggest going to see the Polar Bears in Churchill (Churchill is one of the best spots in Canada to see them), going to Algonquin Park, and maybe going up to the Yukon (also good for the Northern Lights). If you like hockey, Toronto has a big Hockey Hall of Fame, which is right down town and close to other attractions such as the CN Tower, St Lawrence Market, the train station and the Royal Ontario Museum. There is also the Zoo, Casa Loma Castle (which is kind of over rated but still cool to see), Kensington Market, and Old Fort York (good for history buffs) Niagara Falls if only about 75 minute bus ride from Toronto, which I would recommend going if you have the time. Depending on when you come, there is ice skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, which is basically a big river and draws a lot of people. I've done it before- the ice is kind of choppy (because it's real frozen ice, and not a man made rink), but it's really cool. Most people skate on it at night. I hope this helps :)

Since the Queen reigns over Canada just like she does over your native land of Australia, you will find things in Canada to be very much like Australia. Britain's influence is everywhere. You will, of course, want to see the Queen's throne and portrait in the Canadian Parliament House in Ottawa. In this Diamond Jubilee year, Canadians are very focused on showing their immense devotion to Her Majesty, so everywhere you go you will find joyful celebrations and images of Her Majesty. Enjoy your holiday.

Nope. There are no ice rinks in Canada. They all melted because of global warming. Also, to the question answerer the punching and the hitting are not permitted here. You could go to Ottawa, Quebec City, or Victoria, B.C. It is a big country. Maybe you should choose a province that you'd like to visit first. There's a lot to see.

Northern Lights...go to Norway instead, they got good ice skating rinks too :)
