You thought I was going to forget about Banff? Banff is getting a whole week, and right around Christmas because we’re going full cliche this week. Banff has a bunch of highlights; someone could probably do a ‘sight-a-day’ calendar about it. However, we’re narrowing it down and starting with Johnston Canyon. Tucked away in the… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 357: Banff Week – Johnston Canyon
Some might say taking photos in small is tacky, and maybe they’re right. But maybe they’ve never been to this mall. I almost threw West Edmonton Mall into the oddities week, since it’s a bit of an unusual situation. Amongst one of the biggest malls in the world (it was the biggest until 2004 and… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 356: West Edmonton Mall
Canadian culture draws from a number of historic cultures, and China’s influence on Vancouver is one of the most famous in the country. That’s why it’s no surprise a little over 30 years ago, the Chinese and Canadian government’s got together on a shared project and brought this peaceful, contemplative spot to life in the… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 355: Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden
Ok, to be honest, this is the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre, but I’m focusing on the Winter Garden because of how unique it is. The Elgin is classy and amazing (and gives the Orpheum a run for its money), but the Winter Garden is a whole different situation. With amazing scenes painted on the… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 354: Winter Garden Theatre
Well over 200 years old, this is one of the oldest human-made sights on this list. Its history stretches back Queen Victoria’s dad, who was stationed in Halifax for a short time in 1800. As a gift to the city, he commissioned this structure and the clock inside. Finished in 1803, it’s become one of… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 353: Halifax Town Clock
With a drop of around 275 feet and situated in the suburbs of one of the oldest cities in Canada, Montmorency Falls would probably be the most famous waterfalls in Canada if it weren’t for (the shorter) Niagara Falls. Pouring over the cliffs at the edge of the St. Lawrence River, the Montmorency River has… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 352: Montmorency Falls
I just, I have to get this out of the way. I don’t think this is a bridge. A neat geological feature, a spectacular location, an oddity that turned into a landmark that turned into a popular tourist attraction? Yes, to all those things. It’s not a bridge, though, since there’s a gap. It’s not… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 351: Kicking Horse Natural Bridge
The fact a town like Whistler has an interesting art gallery shouldn’t be a surprise. The ski village is one of the most luxury-filled towns in Canada. The Audain Gallery is one of the bonuses of that affluence. A truly stunning building that mixes modernity with the natural setting amongst west coast forest, it’s visually… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 350: Audain Art Museum
So…yeah, all the sights for universities are buildings. Universities have great buildings, what can I say. York University has some of the best new architecture in Canada, and so we’re back there. Yes, the student building was already on this list, but these two, which are almost next to each other, are both worthy as… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 349: Universities Week – York University science and engineering buildings
It’s always good to have a peaceful place on campus for students to relax. Simon Fraser University is sometimes criticized for how much concrete is on top of Burnaby Mountain, but what’s been done up there in some cases is pretty neat. The highlight is, in my opinion, the quad. Officially given the terrible name… Read More 365 Canadian Sights | Day 348: Universities Week – The Simon Fraser quadrangle
