Fishing
Rules
Visitors to the Lake of the Woods
region enjoy many outdoor tourism
and recreation activities. While
the area has excellent hiking,
biking, snowmobiling and cross-country
skiing environments, it is most
famous as a fishing paradise.
Much of the region is open to
recreation touring and activity,
but some areas are held as nature
reserves, where access is prohibited.
Also, there are several First
Nations Reserves throughout the
Lake of the Woods islands and
mainland shores, many operating
tourist enterprises.

Festivals
and Frolics
In the land of the Bras d’Or,
it sometimes seems like the hills
themselves are fiddling a Celtic
tune or singing a Gaelic song.
It’s hard to imagine a time
when toes aren’t tapping
and bows aren’t flying at
festivals, workshops, classes,
dances, ceilidhs, frolics and
kitchen parties. In Cape Breton,
the only area in the world where
Gaelic continues as a living language,
music, dance and storytelling
are a way of life. Looking for
some authentic Cape Breton culture?
Check out the nearest community
hall – there’s sure
to be someone making musical magic
on the local stage.

The
Ultimate Northern Lights Vacation
Picture this: Perfect
silence. Deep drifts of sparkling,
pristine snow. A steaming, wood-fired
outdoor hot tub. And a sky awash
in vivid streams of northern
lights. Too good to be true?
Not in the Northwest Territories,
where the aurora borealis is
at its brilliant best. The shimmering
kaleidoscope of colour, varying
from yellow-green to radiant
red, results when particles
released from the sun’s
atmosphere collide with the
gaseous particles of the earth’s
atmosphere.

Town
and Country Sea Kayaking
For all but the most advanced
and experienced sea kayakers,
the open waters of Lake Ontario
are out of bounds. Even in the
best of weather, sudden changes
in wind and wave conditions
can occur, turning a routine
recreational paddle into a skill-challenging
test of endurance. But in many
areas along the Lake's Canadian
shore, sheltered beaches, bays
and inner harbours offer paddlers
the opportunity to combine the
thrill of sea kayaking with
the pleasures of sightseeing-even
on the doorstep of Canada's
largest city.
