My Favourite Places in Canada
1. Niagara Falls, Ontario
I was born there. The falls are spectacular in summer and in winter - day and night.
2. Ottawa, Ontario
The nation's capital is lovely to behold in both winter and summer. The canals, tulips, museums, parliament buildings.
3. Kingston, Ontario

6. Montreal, Quebec
A cosmopolitan yet 'European' city in it's character. I remember Expo 67, the rubber tired subway and the French style.
7. Banff, Alberta
A magical town in a beautiful setting, with hot springs, mountains, and wildlife. It reminds me of Nepal.

9. Charlottetown, PEI
What a treat it must be to live in this city, the birthplace of Canada on this postcard perfect island.
10. Toronto, Ontario
Hamilton raised, it is difficult for me to admit that Toronto is an amazing city. There is much I dislike yet I like - the museums, restaurants, entertainment, diverse cultures, old buildings, landmarks, excitement, ..
