Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦Good Morning #Canada
We're starting our #TravelCanada series in Saskatchewan. The Wanuskewin National Historic Site is located 15 km north of Saskatoon in the broad Opimihaw Creek valley near the South Saskatchewan River. The 56.7 hectare site contains archaeological and physical evidence of significant pre-contact Indigenous habitation on the Northern Plains, with 19 archaeological sites identified to date.

Another popular #DayTrip close to a major city is Grouse Mountain. Located in the District Municipality of North Vancouver, just minutes from downtown, Grouse Mountain has an elevation of over 1,200 m and first attracted crowds with an alpine ski area (4 chairlifts servicing 33 runs). Today it's a year round recreational playground with multiple activities for all ages.

One of the most locally famous and popular activities is the Grouse Grind. It's a 2.9 km hike that rises 853 m, and the site of regular races and competitions.
Grouse Grind record-holder shares why he loves the tough hike
My wife and I visited Grouse Mountain at the beginning of October 2017. On a guided tour at the top we came across several deer and a movie production spreading fake snow for a Hallmark Christmas movie. But we also saw several of these guys behind a huge fence that protected their section of the mountain from dumb humans with an urge for selfies. The picture is zoomed in and doesn't do justice to the massive size of this Grizzly.

If you're going to #TravelCanada then stopping at unique out of way places needs to be an objective. Visiting the Highlands Cinema Museum in Kinmount Ontario is a great example. It's a multiplex theater (5 screens, 550 seats), a museum of movie memorabilia from across North America and a cat rescue caring for 50+ abandoned and feral kitties. It's also the subject of a documentary called "The Movie Man".

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.

"3.6576 Metre Davis" lacks something...

Not in any country other than the US...IMO, we have become too Americanized in our way of thinking.
edit: I just noticed this is a thread --very cool!! 😊

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.
