Myths

Facts
- There are more than 10 animals native to Canada: bear : grizzly and black, cougar, moose, lynx, wolf, canadian goose, wales, marmot, wolverine, american pika, bison.. See HERE for photos and more on each of them. Yes one gets to see them when wandering in our Canadian Rockies.. mostly the small ones like pikas, marmots.. and we keep bear and other bigger animals at bay with a bear spray we carry with us in the summer.
Myths
- In Canada, it’s winter most of the year, the land is covered with snow and never gets green.
Facts
- It’s is winter for a long time in Canada But we do have 4 seasons like anywhere else (ok plus or minus wink wink!) with spring coming in May, Summer in July and Fall in September. For us outdoor lovers, a long winter is never lost! We have such an amazing mountain backyard where we can entertain so many activities – yes even in the winter! – that when spring comes, we sometimes feel we’ve barely skied all the powder slopes nor ice climbed all the beautiful icicles we had in mind we would!
