Find some good poutine and challenge a moose to a dual. Seriously though idk. I've only been to Niagara side, Toronto and the Mennonite side to visit relatives.

Igloos, beaver and bacon, that's what we're all about!0

Canadian moose, much like Canadian girls, will usually drink you under the table, be careful!0

If you're anywhere near Montreal take the "scenic route" up Mount Royal! Quite the trek and beautiful at that. Also - jet boating through the rapids...make sure you sit in the front if you're an adrenaline junkie (I am, too!)0

French toast?? Yuck. Pancakes with maple syrup and poutine.
But he's going to the west coast. @BenniBlanc0 you're starting in Vancouver I guess? There's tons to do out there0 -
Umm never heard of the steam roller front lawns. I am guessing that is when it snows...that would make sense. However, our country is not Frozen all the time contrary to popular belief!!!
Unfortunately I have never done the trip that you are looking for, but I do now there are many beautiful places to visit. Mountains to climb!!! Something I look forward to doing one day.
BTW wrong coast of Canada to find some "Good" Poutine!! Good luck on that challenge of the moose too...you will most likely come across some on your trek!!
I hope you have fun, Canada is a beautiful Country!!1 -
Whiskey's good here too! Oo..I missed that part, about the West Coast....nope, nothing to do there. Gotta come to Ontario and visit T.O!0

Well duh. Centre of the universe and all
Vancouver is awesome though and he'll be in the Rockies. Lots of adventure tours he can do there probably some white water rafting I'm sure
Calgary you can go to the Olympic Park I think and do the live run and stuff like that. Banff is beautiful and Lake Louise...all those lakes are just amazing to look at really. You can hike through mountains. I have a relative who works part of the year at a Lodge on the bc Alberta border you have to either hike, ski or helicopter to...Prince William and Kate helicoptered in to stay there.

And duh I just read Calgary to Vancouver. So ya start by heading to banff. when you get to the foothills of the Rockies it's kind of spectacular.1

Do the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper. You can walk on a glacier. Stop in Canmore at the Grizzly Paw. They are a micro brew distillery.0

If I remember correctly Albertans drive really quickly too...so don't worry about obeying speed limits. Haha. Canadians are nice people but we believe speed limits are really just a recommendation2

98% of the time, you'll get great support here. Me thinks Cutaway thought he was being funny, when he was actually being very insulting. Not the norm.3 -
There's a luge/bobsled track in Calgary I'm too scared to try but might suit an adrenaline junky. Great hiking in both Alberta and BC, Banff, Columbia icefields, Squamish for rock climbing, whistler/grouse for mountain biking, bungee jumping at whistler, surfing off Tofino on Vancouver Island, the list is really endless. I don't live out west anymore but you should be able to find a ton of stuff to do.0

Anyway, insults notwithstanding, the drive from Calgary to Vancouver is spectacular. Banff is beautiful. The town of Banff is very touristy though and still pretty busy on the weekends. Take a drive up tunnel mountain and visit with the elks and check out the hoodoos. There are some great towns on your drive. Google map a route. The town where they shot the first Rambo movie is in the mountains and damn can't remember the name of it at the moment.
You will have a great time!0 -
oooh go to Moraine Lake. It's so beautiful that its picture used to be on the $20 bill. I bet you could find lots of place to go canoeing up there too. That's a very Canadian thing to do.
If you have time to take the ferry across from Vancouver, Victoria is beautiful. Lots of yummy crab out that way too..0 -

Nonetheless, didn't mean it as an insult. But it does appear that way.
here's a thought....you could just stop posting5 -
I found some pics from when I was last out west....this is the first view of the Rockies cars just stop randomly so the people can take pictures
This is moraine Lake so pretty
