the most famous of all the dare devils was Mrs Annie Taylor the first survivor of the falls, she was a school teacher who wanted a new life of fame and fortune and the only way she could imagine doing it was by throwing herself over the edge of the monstrous horse shoe falls ( These are the larger of the Fall located in Canada you may find excursions on Toronto Holidays). At the old age of 65 Annie jumped into a large whiskey barrel with her companion her black cat and was taken out into the Niagara river, 17 minutes later she appeared at the lip of the falls and she thrown right over the edge and plunged straight down into the water. When the barrel appeared on the surface at the bottom of the falls in one piece on looks screamed in amazement the barrel was salvaged and was dragged ashore to find old Annie inside alive! She was very dazed and confused ad probably felt concussed.

An English man Charles Stephen attempted the same life threatening stunt but died because he fell out of the bottom of the barrel and landed in the rocks at the bottom, only his arm was ever found.

If taking a visit to the Niagara falls isn’t up your street, Canada still has so much more to offerCanada Rail Tours around the scenic rookie mountains into the secluded ski resort towns such as whistler.

It was recently discovered that there may actually have been a civilization (not very advanced) that lived in the Vancouver area over ten thousand years in the past. There is great support for this, mainly because of Canada’s Ecosystem. The ecosystem around Vancouver at this time is shown to have the properties required to support human like life. There wouldn’t be much of a problem for hunting in this case. The people that would have lived here were known as the Coast Salish, who would supposedly still have some descendants today.

However like every other country in the world, Vancouver evolved, once discovered by Europeans, industrialisation was begun. Jose Maria Narvaez sailed past the place which would become Vancouver but didn’t actually stop to survey or map it out.

George Vancouver was a British man, and he mapped out and surveyed the area where Vancouver stands now. After surveying and patrolling this area for many years, it was named after him a hundred years later. New Westminster was then named as the capital of British Columbia in 1859. Vancouver was established in 1866 when British Columbia merged with the smaller version of Vancouver.

Many people actually refer to Vancouver as being one of the most culturally diverse and accepting cities on the planet. There are more than fifty percent of people that have a first language that isn’t English. However Vancouver has something else in it’s past that trumps all others, and that is the crazy Klondike Gold rush something that really made Canada big..

So are you searching for great Canada holidays this annum, or just a vacation in general, well if you like history, then surely Vancouver holidays have to be on your list, if not then why not Toronto holidays!

Just before Christmas a period of -30 degree high pressure meant the slopes stayed pretty sparse and the low pressure that followed fails to deliver the needed dump.There were little bits of snowfall here and there of about 3-5cm but it didn’t hang around and it is difficult to ride on that amount anyway.One man interviewed as he left a resort states “it’s been borderline terrible”. He had found his way out to the Castle Resort the week before but found bare slopes and zero snow when he arrived.“I maybe got 4 days of riding out of 14, that’s not good”.  Another visitor said that she decided to ditch the skiing in favour of doing some sightseeing on one of the local company’s polar bear holidays.
