Our Country–Notre Pays

For nearly 15 years, Canadian Geographic has been asking notable Canadians to share their favourite place in Canada. From lakeside family retreats to urban hideaways, the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains to the endless horizon of the Arctic tundra, the rocky shores of Newfoundland to the windswept beaches of western Vancouver Island, their answers highlight the geographic diversity of Canada and the love that unites us. These are our places. This is our country.
