I was thinking about the following:

- Go for a winery tour in Vancouver

- Visit Musee National des Beaux-Arts de Quebec in Quebec City

- Celebrate Canada’s 143rd Birthday on Capitol Hill in Ottawa with thousands of other proud Canadians

- The place to be in London, Ontario on Canada Day is at the Forks of the Thames, then enjoy a buffet dinner on the lawn of Eldon House.

Too much to consider?  Well, there’s always the upcoming Civic Holiday in August to plan ahead for.
