CANADA THROUGH THE SEASONS
The weather is very different in this large country, so there’s something to do for everyone in every season
Spring can arrive in February in Victoria on the west coast. In other parts of Canada, it gets warm in early April, and spring weather continues until June. In British Columbia, you can kayak, camp, or take a train trip through the Rocky Mountains.
Summer brings warm to hot weather from May to September. This is a great time to fish in one of Canada’s many lakes; kayak among whales in Churchill, Manitoba; or have some Wild West fun at the Calgary Stampede.
Fall brings cool temperatures in September and October. It’s a good time of year to see the fall leaves in eastern Canada, enjoy hiking, visit museums, or go to the Toronto International Film Festival.
Snow begins to fall in November, and temperatures drop. Days are short in winter, but you can ski, go to an ice festival, or see the northern lights. In parts of British Columbia, the snow doesn’t stay long and you can golf all year!
C Group work Imagine you can visit Canada. When and where would you go? Why? Discuss your ideas.
