kiplingsummer: 25.04.202..., Pickering, Ontario

Having been born and raised in Canada there is nothing I can say except that we have a country of great diversity including people, weather and geography. We are as varied and interesting as any country on the planet.

I live in the South East of Ontario region and enjoy our four seasons unlike up north where they have two seasons 🙂 snow season. This is a great place to live. It’s a fairly small Canadian city with a population of 90,000, yet close to Toronto. In my area there are many small towns, villages and wide open spaces. It is very quiet and laid-back. People will stop their cars or tractors in the middle of the road to talk to friends and neighbors, it is still very folksy. People are polite and considerate, and you know most of your neighbors.

Summer here can get pretty hot and humid, but we have breathtaking autumns, the colors are beautiful as we have tens of thousands of maple trees. Winters are not too cold – you are almost sure to get a “white” Christmas here! We can ski and ride our snowmobiles and our children can skate.

shady: 20.05.202..., Quebec City, Quebec

I am from Ukraine originally, but I came to live in Canada thirty years ago, and I love it here. Quebec City is a lovely place as far as natural beauty is concerned. It is located in the St. Lawrence River valley, on the north bank of the Lawrence River near its meeting with the St. Charles River. As it used to be a French province its French heritage, architecture and language make it appear more like a charming European village. No wonder it’s a treasure of UNESCO World Heritage. Walking along the cobblestone streets of the Old City you can discover numerous historical buildings and sites like the Citadel. The city offers cozy cafés and nice tiny shops.

Overall I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else, but it is not a perfect place... It’s really unfortunate, but you can easily run into someone that is either rude or extremely arrogant. It happened even more often before I could speak French.

Atom boy: 17.07.202..., Whistler, British Columbia

I’m from Austria and I first came to Canada in 2010 as a participant of the Olympic Games. And I fell in love with this place. As Vancouver is situated between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean it presents a natural playground where people can swim in the ocean, rollerblade through scenic parks and snow ski in the mountains all in one day. That’s what attracted me most. Now I live in a resort village called Whistler. Whistler is a two-hour trip from Vancouver along Canada’s most scenic drive, the Sea-to-Sky Highway. Although the road from Vancouver to Whistler is so beautiful it’s really tiring to travel there and back almost every day, and you feel you’re wasting a lot of time. Also, it’s quite a cold place. Whistler gets its fair share of snow and cold. Winter temperatures are about 0 °C and summer days can be quite warm, with temperatures reaching the high 20 °C. But it means there’s always snow on the mountain peaks and I can practice all the year round.
