Last-Minute Fall Trips
Good morning!
Did you know? Canada is famous for its fall colours, so much so that Statistics from the Canadian Tourism Commission indicate that fall foliage attracts around 10 million visitors, contributing approximately $1 billion to the economy during peak season, with a projected growth rate of 3% per year.
Somehow, we’re not surprised. It’s a wonderful time to see the country. Although it depends on where you go, fall foliage usually peaks around mid-October, which means there’s still time for some last-minute trips.
In the 245th edition of the Weekly Goose, we’ll share some great places to see the fall colours around Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Banff, and Saskatchewan!
Happy Travels!
Together with FlightHub
Your Ticket to Canada’s Big Three This Fall
Fall is the perfect time to explore Canada’s most iconic cities — and FlightHub makes getting there simple, affordable, and stress-free. Whether you’re chasing mountain trails, big-city buzz, or old-world charm, FlightHub helps you find the right fare fast.
Vancouver — Crisp mornings, colourful Stanley Park trails, and mountain views framed by autumn leaves. Find flights to Vancouver
Toronto — From skyline strolls to day trips to Niagara’s golden vineyards, this city shines in fall. Find flights to Toronto
Montreal — European charm meets Canadian spirit, with golden trees in Mount Royal Park and cozy cafés. Find flights to Montreal
We also want to spotlight FlightHub’s Fare Alerts feature, for all of us trying to save money on travel.
It’s an incredibly useful tool for travellers looking to save money, especially those who are planning ahead for fall or holiday travel but waiting for a good deal.
How it works:
When you search for a specific route on FlightHub but don’t love the current prices, you can subscribe to a Fare Alert right from the search results page (top left-hand corner).
Once prices drop for that route, you’ll receive an instant email notification giving you the best chance to book at the lowest fare.
It’s a simple, free way for you to monitor fares passively and strike when the timing is right.
Watch
While the Eastern side of Canada is known for the best fall colours, the Rocky Mountains can be quite the sight as well. This is one fall hike near Banff that you’ll want to add to your bucket list.
Beaver Bites
Niagara Falls has a new attraction, particularly for those who want to indulge in delicious food. This is how a Niagara restaurant landed the exceptionally rare two Michelin stars.
Speaking of Michelin stars, check out all the Toronto restaurants that made this year’s Michelin restaurant guide.
Does the cost of airport food annoy you as much as it does us? If so, you might like this video about why that is…
We’re not cruise ship people, but this ultra-luxury cruise that goes from the North Pole to the South Pole might change our minds.
It’s a Canadian’s worst nightmare. Americans travelling abroad are starting to ‘flag-jack’ Canadians so they get treated better.
Canadians are known for being friendly, but when it comes to competition, watch out! These two Canadian bays are duking it out for the title of the world’s highest tide.
Just for Fun
Can you eat 826,308 hot dogs? We hope not, but that’s what Blue Jays fans ate on Loonie Dog Tuesday games this season, a franchise record. Having been part of that for one game, we can tell you that the hot dogs are barely worth eating.
Imagine calling sashimi too raw? Chefs and restaurant owners share their most unhinged Yelp reviews.
We don’t usually recommend instant coffee. But sometimes, when travelling, it’s a necessity. So, to make it as tasty as possible, this is what baristas recommend.
