Those expecting Canada to be a blander version of the USA should check their assumptions at the door. Canada's wild northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a country that is decidedly different from its brash neighbour.
It's the edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions that gives the nation its complex three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion of US culture and a plethora of traditions brought by migrants, and you have a thriving multicultural society.

By 9pm everyone on the course had arrived in Banff...let the fun begin! I breathed a massive sigh of relief as the ski passes and bus passes allowed those already in town to head up the hill. Sleepless nights and worrying for nothing.
