About Discover Canada

Your trusted guide to exploring the beauty and diversity of Canada

Welcome to Discover Canada, your comprehensive guide to exploring the second-largest country in the world. From the rugged coastlines of British Columbia to the charming fishing villages of Nova Scotia, and from the cosmopolitan cities of Toronto and Montreal to the pristine wilderness of the Yukon, we're dedicated to showcasing Canada's diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unforgettable experiences.

Our Story

Discover Canada was founded in 2020 by a passionate group of Canadian travel experts with a shared vision: to create the ultimate resource for travelers seeking authentic Canadian experiences. Having explored every province and territory ourselves, we recognized the need for a comprehensive, trustworthy source of travel information that captures the true essence of Canada.

What began as a small blog has grown into a leading travel resource, helping thousands of visitors plan unforgettable Canadian adventures. Our team combines decades of travel experience with deep local knowledge to provide insights that go beyond typical tourist information.
