Spring break is almost here and it’s time to think about travel. Where should we go in Canada to have fun spending time with your friends and family? The best places for a memorable trip range from urban landscapes to the wilderness.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia

Thanks to its ample sunshine and dry, sandy soil, the Okanagan Valley is one of Canada’s top wine-growing regions in the spring. There are nearly 200 wineries in the area, many of them internationally acclaimed. You can also enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding along the abandoned Kettle Valley Railway along lakes, farms, and vineyards on the Okanagan.
