Things to Do in Canada 190 (Niagara Falls Edition)
Good morning!
Did you know? Niagara Falls is the second-largest waterfall on Earth and Horseshoe Falls (the famous Canadian portion that everyone wants to see) is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by flow rate.
Speaking of Niagara Falls, that’s what this newsletter is all about. It might be a touristy place but there’s a reason it’s so popular. We’ve been to Niagara Falls a number of times and never get tired of witnessing all that water flow over the edge. We’ve seen it from a number of angles, including from a boat at the bottom and a helicopter above. Witnessing it from a bedroom in one of the Falls View hotel rooms is still on the bucket list, however.
So whether you’re interested in exploring Niagara Falls or the nearby wine region, enjoy the 190th edition of the Weekly Goose!

Air Canada has avoided a strike, which would have caused mass disruptions across the country. Considering we are on our way to Quebec this week with Air Canada, we can certainly breathe a sigh of relief.
When it comes to road trips in Canada, British Columbia is one of the most popular. This lady, however, decided to buck the trend and ride her bicycle across BC for three months. It tested her self-reliance to the max.
Not all view towers are made for recreation. Haida Gwaii, for example, just got Canada’s first-ever tsunami evacuation tower, which sits 10 metres tall. We’re thinking Tofino might get one next.
Canada is known for its vast wilderness. It’s one of the things that draws people here from all over the world. Currently, Canada has approximately 9% of the world’s forests.

We love a good sweet and sour 5-cent candy (err maybe 10-15 cents these days) now and then but it’s the sugar that stops us from indulging. That may no longer be the case though as this Canadian startup launched a candy with 14 grams of protein.
According to therapists, “savouring” can increase joy in your life.
