Canada is Calling is where we trade boardrooms and dashboards for winding roads, hidden main streets, and the kind of places that don’t always make the glossy brochures. Here, we explore Canada through the eyes of curious travellers and local hosts, from tiny lakeside towns and prairie backroads to bustling neighbourhoods in our biggest cities.

We’re interested in the real side of travel: the coffee shops where the barista remembers what you ordered the last time, the festivals that only locals seem to know about, the gallery tucked above a hardware store, the trail that was never meant to be a secret but somehow still feels like one.

In this series, you’ll find stories, suggestions, and reflections on how to experience Canada in a more intentional way, with a spotlight on small businesses, cultural experiences, and the communities that give each place its character.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip, a new corner of your own backyard to explore, or a reminder of why Canada is worth wandering, you’re in the right place.
