How a visit to Canada invigorates the mind

EXPANDING HORIZONS

Cultural immersion is the best way to broaden the mindset of travellers from the UK, so why not suggest your Canada-bound clients venture north to Nunavut to meet its friendly Inuit community?

Inside Iqaluit’s Nunatta Sunakkutaangit Museum visitors can discover ancient Inuit knives, sleds and jewellery made from whalebone, or they can join a community tour to hear about Inuit life in the modern day.

For alternative options, Destination Canada’s website is the source of more than 200 Canadian Signature Experiences. These are once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences only found in Canada.

The Canadian Signature Experiences designed to teach the mind – and sometimes the body – something new include learning to surf at Tofino on Vancouver Island, joining the research team at Labrador’s Torngat Arctic Research Station, trying wildlife tracking in the Elk River Valley and learning to ski or snowboard in the Rockies.

If learning a new skill is what your client wants to do, recommend a Glanzmann Tours photography workshop focused on wildlife and the Northern Lights in Yukon’s Kluane national park.

Or, the Hopewell Rocks night-photography excursion in New Brunswick teaches students to improve their post-sunset snaps so they can return home with not just memories, but printed proof too.
