The cottage on the lake, the cabin in the woods — cottage culture is an essential part of the national lore. When I first moved to Canada, I really didn’t understand the significance of spending the weekend “up north,” but after almost a decade I do say I miss them terribly. Particularly in Ontario, the term cottage induces memories of summers spen...
Pronounced as ‘May Two-Four’, also known as Victoria Day, it is a public holiday in Canada, celebrated on the last Monday preceding May 25. Originally there to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday, it has since been celebrated as the official birthday of Canada’s sovereign — but to many Canadians May Two-Four is considered to be the start of summer....
Another great Canadian tradition is Thanksgiving. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October, which to me personally makes a lot more sense — you have two months to get ready for another Turkey feast. Canadian Thanksgiving is closely linked to the harvest festival, which is why it takes place in autumn, and is a very relaxed a...
Do not be alarmed — Canadians do not eat tails of actual beavers. In Canada, beaver tails are giant, deep-fried sweet delicacies. A ball of dough is stretched into a long, flat oval, fried in oil and served in a paper sleeve. If you are a purist, you stick to a mix of sugar and cinnamon to be sprinkled on top, but there are other options like maple...
A hugely popular holiday with the Francophone culture, St Jean Baptiste day takes place on June 24 and is known as la Fête nationale du Québec (the National holiday of Quebec). If you find yourself in Canada’s French province, brace yourself for a day of concerts, parades and firework displays. Families get together to have bonfires and barbecues, ...
The longest-running parade in Canada (uninterrupted since 1824), St Patrick’s Day Parade is one of the best days to find yourself in Montréal. Depending on the weather (and sometimes you even get T-shirt weather in the city in March), there are crowds anywhere from 250,000 to 700,000, watching hundreds of floats, marching bands and performers strol...
One of the country’s most beloved drinks, the Canadian Caesar had to make it on to this list as its own item (I miss it desperately). It makes an appearance at almost every summer party — and while it looks a lot like a Bloody Mary, it is hundred times better than its American cousin. Instead of mixing your cocktail with tomato juice, Canadians use...
Halloween is one of the most important and exciting times of the Canadian year. People around the world celebrate this harvest festival, and it's an equally big deal in Canada. It is thought to be worth over a billion Canadian dollars a year! In the city of Vancouver, residents set off fireworks to celebrate from their back gardens as it is the onl...
The Calgary Stampede happens each year in July in Calgary, Alberta. It's known as the 'Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth' and involves concerts, rodeos, carnival rides, exhibitions, parades and agricultural competitions. It's core objective is to "preserve and celebrate western heritage, culture and community spirit". The Stampede is one of Canada's b...
