It's not a proper trek through Canada without our guide to the best sights and activities our northern neighbor has to offer.
The unexpected
It was a day like everyday. Amy was gearing up for the cold weather. February can be harsh and cold in Canadian Rockies. Even though she did not really feel like going outside, Amy knew it was a necessity. It was not for her. It was for them she was going. For their sanity. As she started getting too warm in her winter coat she was getting them ready as well. Amy started by putting his boots on and then his jacket. She did not have to do much for the other one. He was built for freezing cold temperatures.

A Hometown Is Not a Place
To have a hometown is to know where you are from. Perhaps that is the problem with being a military brat. When people have asked me where I am from, I have discovered is that they are really asking where the last place I lived was. They don’t care about the towns and cities military families pass through. None quite know the unique struggle of moving every few years and calling a new place your hometown. Whenever I am asked about my hometown, I have to pause for a moment and think. Each time I come to the same conclusion:

Three Hills
The gas station. A place of meeting, a place of eating, a place of memories. From the time children are walking they are coming through that glass door, holding their mother's hand and pointing at the slushie machine or running their hands along the rows of candybars and chips. Teens are eager to earn the badge of honour that arrives with the first lunchtime trip to Circle K, leaving school grounds for a five minute walk to get a large bottle of pop that they can drink obnoxiously during their next class. College students come in search of burgers and midnight fuel as they take breaks from writing papers, truckers stop in for their early morning caffeine, and travelers in desperate need of a bathroom find rest in the back, surrounded by dirty tile. The gas station is the heart of the town and one of the very few sources of entertainment to be found in Three Hills, Alberta.

Alberta
The greatest drive in the world is in Alberta... I have driven a lot of Alberta. Most of this province I drove with a small pickup whilst working for an oil and gas company many years ago. I have driven further into the middle of nowhere in this province than most anyone you probably know. I’ve seen pasture upon pasture, and many a dirt road. I've passed through just about all the parks and villages, and the hamlets too. The prairies, actually span three provinces; and I’m not going to lie to you and say that you won’t find hidden gems here and there as you sojourn this great and vast country. Canada is massive — we have a lot of ‘space’ and you can see that quite clearly from out the car window. But, I think with all this driving (and sight-seeing), I’ve also stumbled upon one of the greatest roads to drive, and it just so happens to be right in this province — and in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Winter Is Not A Wonderland
Winter. Some people love winter. Some of us, however, suffer through winter. Some of us cannot deal with winter. Some of us get terribly depressed when winter hits. I am one of those people. I often find that I cannot handle winter weather. I was born in a place where winter is harsh, and now live in a city where winter is even harsher. How did this happen?

5 Decisions, 1 Change
I've had more than ten years to think this through, and I'm still not done with it yet. I've been thinking of this plan in phases, and I already passed step 1, which is to plan where I'm going. Step 2 is to get my passport as soon as I possibly can. Step 3 is to book a flight to where I'm about to go, and phase 4, well, that's the part that I still need to work on, so while I keep working on step 4, take a look at the places I want to check out.

Work Mechanism Of Canada Immigration Consultants in UAE
Exceptional lifestyle, work opportunities and overall high standard of living drives people to UAE. They seek immigration services to experience secured and commendable future over here. On the other hand, there are many individuals who curiously find an easy way out to obtain citizenship of countries like Australia and Canada. Most of the times, there are few inhibitions, presumptions and clarifications to be addressed prior to flying to Canada.

Travelling during covid
I have always been an avid traveller, for many reasons I have stayed in North America even leading into this year of covid but this is the first year I have been stuck in my Country. I have to say in the month that I have been able to hit the road I have discovered so many beautiful trails, small town markets and local spots that I have passed by every day but never had the time to appreciate their value.

The "B.C. Effect"
When my friends and family read the title of this story, they will no doubt roll their eyes and say something along the lines of, "OK, OK, we get it - B.C. is the best place on earth...now shut it and move on!" And honestly, I wouldn't blame them. I haven't shut up about how beautiful the Western-most province of Canada is since I came back home to Ontario in July. But - can you really blame me for this?! There's just something about that province that was able to completely flip my perspective and mindset. Having grown up in the suburbs outside of Toronto, I typically think of "nature" as being up at a cottage in the Muskokas. Yes, we have lovely, curated trails to walk and bike through, with beautiful trees and gardens. But...nothing, and I mean NOTHING, compares to the majesty of British Columbia.
