In Cochrane, Ontario, you can have your photo taken while swimming next to a real polar bear. At the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat, you can swim in a small wading pool next to the polar bear pool, and during the summer, you can have your photo taken with a 740 lb. cuddly one.

You Can Sleep in an Ice Hotel

Quebec City’s Ice Hotel is complete with ice rooms, igloos and an ice restaurant. However, if you don’t think an overnight trip is right for you, then you can always pop in for a day visit.

You Can Paddle One of the World’s Most Dynamic Bays

The Bay of Fundy stretches between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and the tide is so powerful here that it exposes ancient fossils in the rock faces along the shore. At sites such as Hopewell Rocks, you can kayak around flowerpot islands, then walk on the ocean floor just hours later.

You Can Visit a Real Jurassic Park

The badlands in the East Block of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan are the richest resource for dinosaur fossils in Canada. Parks Canada’s visitor centre will guide you through this real dinosaur park, though there are some canyons close enough that you can explore yourself and even take photographs of the site’s plethora of fossil finds.

Comic Book Characters that Come from Canada

The world loves comic book characters but their origins are not always obvious. However there are a few that are proud Canadians and like to let everyone know. Here are three well-known comic book characters that come from Canada.

Wolverine

Logan aka Wolverine is one of Marvel’s best-loved X-Men, not only dominating comic books but also commanding movies too. He is a proud Canadian, being born in Alberta at the end of the 19th century. With bulging muscles, lumberjack style and easy acceptance of the snow and winter, Wolverine is possibly the most Canadian of any superhero ever created.

Deadpool

Played recently by Ryan Reynolds in the movies, Deadpool is a legitimate comic book hero with a cult following. Also known as Wade Wilson, the character’s exact origins have never been revealed by Marvel confirms he was born in a “location in Canada”. Deadpool loves to wind up Wolverine – perhaps they’re just vying for top spot in the Canadian superhero list?

Nelvana of the Northern Lights

She was such a revered character that in 1995 she appeared on a series of Canadian stamps alongside Superman and Captain Canuck.
