White water rafting, Jasper National Park, Alberta – Get your entire family to paddle in unison. Jasper National Park has white water rafting from an easy grade 1 to a tough 6 on the Athabasca, Sunwapta and Fraser Rivers.

Calgary Stampede, Alberta – If it’s July, get your inner cowboy to the world’s most famous rodeo. A weeklong extravaganza, the Calgary stampede is a re-creation of the magic and myth of the old West and features ladies barrel racing, bareback riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, and saddle bronc & bull riding.

Dog Sledding, Ontario – Get your own loyal team of huskies and glide across silent, sleeping boreal forests in winter. As you yell ‘mush, mush’ keep an eye out for the odd Moose or White Tail Deer. Places like the Haliburton forest, Sunset Country and Barrie have a wonderful choice of trails.

Athabasca Glacier, Banff – It is one of the six principal ‘toes’ of the Columbia Icefields. Giant Explorer buses drive down steep slopes to take you right to the middle, from where you can see the Andromeda Glacier as well. Ice slopes taller than the Eiffel tower surround you, while masses of glacial ice lie beyond.
