A #RoadTrip to Moose Jaw is always a good idea but the city's biggest attraction lies underground. The Tunnels of Moose Jaw is a bit of history surrounded by theater so you might be confused about separating fact from fiction. It's believed that Chinese immigrants built the secret tunnels around 1908 to escape persecution from the government and citizens and then used them for bootlegging in the prohibition-era.

Selkirk Manitoba is the Catfish Capital of the World. The interwebs don't lie. It is also home to a #BigStuffInSmallTowns legend, Chuck the Channel Cat, a 7.6 metre long fiberglass catfish. In 2025, Chuck was named one of Canada’s best roadside attractions by The Globe and Mail, and he turned 40 this past May. The statue was named after local sport fisherman Chuck Norquay, who drowned while fishing in the Red River.

Halifax is an awesome #TravelCanada destination, especially if you're a fan of military history. The British Royal Navy used Halifax as a base starting in 1749 and Canada's Navy continues to use the dockyards as their Atlantic base. The Citadel in downtown Halifax is the big draw but numerous fortifications along the harbour channel also give you a sense of how heavily defended this area was throughout its history.

Halifax boasts a rich maritime heritage, spotlighting key historic sites like the HMCS Sackville, York Redoubt, and Halifax Citadel. These landmarks offer visitors a chance to explore Canada’s naval legacy, military evolution, and significant historical events while celebrating the resilience and ingenuity of the nation’s armed forces.

I'm feeling lazy this morning so I'm stealing this post from Daily Hive to continue the #TravelCanada series. Located roughly midway between Calgary and Edmonton, just north of Hanna, lies Antelope Hill Provincial Park. The 380 hectares was previously in private hands and was donated to Alberta, officially designated as a park in 2014. It is an important bird sanctuary and limited to low impact activity.

If you're in The Peg and looking for an awesome #RoadTrip then the Pinawa Dam should be on your list. Just a 30 minute drive from Winnipeg is the Pinawa Dam Provincial Park which contains some of the most impressive ruins in Canada. The dam began operating in 1906 but was closed in 1951, and parts of the dam were later used for demolition practice by the Canadian Armed Forces, and were thereby destroyed.

Pinawa Dam is located on the Winnipeg River and was Manitoba’s first hydro-electric generating station. It ran from 1906 to 1951 until it was replaced by the nearby Seven Sisters Generating Station downstream. Pinawa Dam Provincial Heritage Park contains the ruins of the former dam, along with a couple of hiking trails to learn more about the history of the area.

If you're going to #TravelCanada then PEI is a great destination because it has the world famous Canadian Potato Museum. Located in O'Leary PEI, it showcases the history of the potato as a crop and has a large collection of antique farming equipment. Check off another #BigStuffInSmallTowns when you take a selfie with the Big Potato out front and hit the restaurant to sample some potato fudge. Mmmmm.... potato fudge.

One of the smallest municipalities in Canada, with a population of 241 living in just 6 hectares, is also one of the oldest. Notre-Dame-des-Anges, established in 1620, is a parish municipality enclaved within Quebec City and home of the General Hospital of Quebec. It has no mayor but has been governed for decades by an administration of Nuns.

Today we return to the province with a large number of #BigStuffInSmallTowns attractions. Peace River Alberta is home to 12-Foot Davis, who made his mark in Canada before we adopted the metric system. Henry Fuller Davis, who inspired the 12-Foot Davis statue, was a legendary figure who was born in 1820 in Vermont. His nickname comes from his success in mining a gold claim that was 12 feet wide.
Hopewell Rocks offers stunning views of dramatic rock formations shaped by the Bay of Fundy's powerful tides.
