Canada Travel Guide

Few countries on earth can match the sheer volume of tourist information as that handed out by the Canadians. The most useful sources of information before you go are the various provincial tourist offices in Canada. If you contact them well in advance of your departure, and are as specific as possible about your intentions, they'll be able to provide you with everything you need to know.

Outside Canada , the consulates, embassies and high commissions usually have tourist departments, though these cannot match the specific detailed advice dispensed in Canada. One or two Canadian provinces maintain offices or brochure-line numbers in London , though these serve mainly as clearing houses for free publicity material. Most of Canada's provinces have at least one toll-free visitor information number for use within mainland North America. The toll-free numbers are staffed by tourist office employees trained to answer all manner of queries and to advise on room reservations.
