Weekly Goose 121

Good morning!

Did you know? Measuring 8,891 kilometres long, the border between Canada and the USA is the longest in the world. There are more than 100 border crossings between the two countries with the busiest one being the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor.

Although we haven’t crossed that bridge yet, we are going to be in Ontario next week, exploring Toronto, Sudbury, and Killarney Provincial Park.

But without further ado, enjoy the 121st edition of the Weekly Goose, which features videos about Vancouver, the best tours in Victoria BC, the best spas in Ontario, and more!

  • Montreal’s famous Habitat 67 is finally being completed. Does it solve urban sprawl? Explore the model in Unreal Engine in the video below:

  • Despite being a country of land, national parks are getting too busy. Not only has Parks Canada’s improved reservation system made it easier to book camping sites than ever before, but the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks has also been growing each year, with 21.6 million visitors last year alone. While it’s great that people are exploring the outdoors, this also leads to problems, such as ecological harm. Some trails are now being closed while visitor caps are being proposed.

  • There are 750 lighthouses in Canada, many of which can be explored around Canada’s east coast. We’ve been to many, and have even spent the night in one in Prince Edward Island, but if you’re looking for more inspiration, here are 40 of the best lighthouses in Canada.

  • One of the many things we love about travelling the world is the incredible public transportation that some countries have, such as Japan. As you’ve probably guessed, Canada is not on this list, but here are the 9 best metro systems in the world.

  • Since Mexico and the Caribbean are part of North America, we never imagined Canada would make the cut for the top 50 beaches in North America, but thanks to British Columbia’s San Josef Bay and Ontario’s Indian Head Cover, we did! Warning: The beaches on this list may make you book a flight ticket today.

  • Love to base your travel around good food? Here are the top 20 places to eat in Canada, according to food critic Chris Nuttall-Smith.
