The best way to understand pack life is to closely observe wolves at play. The experience is even more enjoyable from the comfort of a luxury lodge at Quebec’s Parc Oméga.

A form of yoga that requires participants to cackle uncontrollably in the company of strangers. It may sound bizarre, but is this burgeoning wellness trend – claimed by practitioners to relieve stress, fend off illness and foster a sense of community – the solution to modern anxiety and general despair? Self-professed ‘repressed Brit’ Fiona Tapp joins a class in California to find out.

While the story of Canada’s mounted police dates back to 1873, it was 100 years ago this month that the Royal North West Mounted Police and Dominion Police merged to become the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Learn more about the RCMP at these fascinating stops.

A visit to Pollock’s Toy Museum in London, England, is not only about stepping into a place full of toy soldiers and porcelain dolls, it’s also a chance to explore a world filled with childhood imagination and wonderment. In a time before flashing screens and remote-controlled gadgets needing an endless supply of batteries, simple toys held children’s attention. Stacking wooden blocks, peering through a kaleidoscope into a world of splintering shapes and colours, or acting out a puppet show whi

Standing on the frozen Arctic Ocean and looking out into the vast expanse of snow and ice makes you feel very small. On the shore of the tiny far northern town of Tuktoyaktuk, in the Northwest Territories of Canada, it’s hard to imagine how people could survive in such a remote, coastal tundra.

Bella Percy-Hughes picking tea leaves at the Tregothnan Estate, photograph by swns.com For most Brits, any problem can be solved with a nice cup of tea. But, the majority of the country’s tea leaves make a long journey from China or India before they reach those English teacups. That’s why the tea grown on the Tregothnan Estate is such a rare British treasure. Set on the banks of the River Fal, near Truro, Cornwall, the estate established the nation’s first tea gardens in 1999 and began produc

“Do you hear the Wapiti?” Tune into the resident radio station as you slowly drive through the wilderness park in Montebello, Quebec, about an hour’s drive from Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, and you’ll hear this phrase. Wapiti is what French-speaking Canadians call an elk and these large curious creatures will attempt to shove their massive heads inside your car window looking for a carrot or two as you navigate the route around their habitats.

Most cities have too many cars. The environmental impact is staggering, and road congestion has a negative effect on our mood and daily lives. Last year, Toronto was even voted the worst commute in North America.

Why are Canadians so weird about women sunbathing topless?  Is it time to just get over our hang ups around female nipples? Fiona Tapp is a Freelance writer who wrote an article on this topic and spoke with Lynda Steele.

The very first time I met my husband-to-be, I was topless. In fact, the first time I met my in-laws, I was topless. Let’s be clear: I am not a shameless exhibitionist or some sort of naturist hippy. But I am British, and I was on a beach vacation in balmy Cuba at the time.

Set amid the greenery of the Roseland Heritage Coast, where fields of sheep meet hidden coves, the attraction here is its remoteness.

From the first time your young child asks you innocently where babies come from, to fielding questions about contraception and STIs from teens, parents are faced with the very real need to provide their children with the facts of life. But how much of this information should be coming from their teachers and what's the state of sex education in schools?

Spring is a special time on a flower farm. As buds bloom and the results of plantings months ago when the snow still covered the ground are suddenly revealed. It’s a series of experiments with awfully long gestations. The gardener must wait patiently to see which ones were successful. Sas Long, owner of design studio and flower farm, Floralora Flowers, understands this process. (pages 25-30)

Fans of The Handmaid's Tale have waited patiently to see what has become of June (Elisabeth Moss) after she made the ultimate sacrifice at the end of season 2, pushing her newborn daughter, Nichole, into the arms of Ofglen/Emily (Alexis Bledel), and giving them both the gift of freedom.

In the Saint-Michel neighborhood of Montreal, a collection of buildings make up a kind of 'Cirque City.' It’s here you’ll find the National Circus School, the headquarters of Cirque de Soleil – and the home of TOHU, a year-round dedicated circus-arts venue that also hosts the Montreal Cirque Festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary in July 2019.

Picture Canada and you’ll envisage all the natural beauty of its wild parks, deep forests, glacial lakes and vibrant, multicultural cities. From coast to coast, the world’s second-largest country is a place of contrasting extremes – none of which is more remote or endlessly fascinating than the north. Almost 40% of Canada’s landmass is made up of just three territories: the Northwest Territories (NWT), Yukon, and Nunavut.

As the door closed behind me and I was left alone in suite 1742, a sense of panic mixed with déjà vu set in. I had seen these rooms before, on old newsreel, in documentaries and in glossy coffee table books. But being here in the very space where John and Yoko stood – or rather laid – felt intrusive somehow. It felt like they might wander in and ask me to bugger off.

More than 80 years ago, caribou numbers in Canada’s Northwest Territories started to decline – a serious threat to the Inuit people who called the region home. In response, a herd of 3500 reindeer from Alaska were herded through the rugged landscape to the region, where they were used for their meat and fur.
