Good morning!

Did you know? Canada is the world's leading icewine producer, with more icewine produced in Canada than all other countries combined.

From the lovely Okanagan Valley to Niagara-on-the-Lake and Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, these destinations are full of fun things to do, stunning scenery, and of course, lovely vineyards.

So without further ado, enjoy the 126th edition of the Weekly Goose, which features multiple travel videos and travel guides on wine destinations in Canada.

Despite not being able to taste the “hints of oak and dark chocolate” in wine, we’ve visited quite a few wineries over the years. Below are four videos to enjoy, including a road trip through Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, a winter wine road trip in the Okanagan, and our two flagship provincial videos for BC and Ontario, both of which feature a winery.

  • This hydrogen-powered train is the first of its kind in North America and is taking riders on a two-and-a-half-hour trip through central Quebec this summer.

  • If you love reading poetry, Canada is a good place to be. Here is a list of the top 68 essential Canadian poetry books from CBC.

  • With Vancouver’s Kitsilano Beach currently testing positive for high amounts of E.Coli, it’s nice to know that the fine for cruise ships that dump waste near Canadian shores is $250,000. Is it working though?

  • It’s been 40 years since Ontario created a new provincial park but thankfully, that time has come. Bigwind Lake Provincial Park is new to the province and will provide more opportunities for year-round recreational activities.

  • Speaking of Ontario, there’s a really cool 50-km hike that takes you through multiple ghost towns.

  • We love the artwork on Canadian money and we especially love the latest toonie design that the Royal Canadian Mint dropped on June 21st in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day.
