Whether it’s flying face-first down a skeleton track, celebrating a gold medal win or racing (amazingly) across the world, Jon Montgomery does it in a quintessentially Canadian style. With this season promising to be a summer of Canadian travel, there’s no one better to curate your summer road trip than Montgomery — and that’s just what he’s done with four classically Canadian RV itineraries.

“When it comes to savouring what’s all around you, there’s no better way to do it than through an RV adventure,” says Montogomery. “And that’s why people come from all over the world to jump in an RV and criss-cross what is 10 million square kilometres of beautiful country.”

Montgomery is certain that with travel having been so restricted in the past year, Canadians are ready to experience the country’s natural beauty with more enthusiasm than ever before.

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder. The absence of being able to get out there, maybe it was something that we took for granted,” says Montgomery. “And so I know that Canadians are chomping at the bit to get out there and take advantage of every opportunity to immerse themselves in our amazing natural environments.”

Montgomery’s RV guides — created in association with GO RVing Canada — promise to take Canadians across the length and breadth of the country. Featuring some of his favourite destinations, Montgomery has a story to tell for each of them — so jump in your campervans, stock up on supplies and hit the road this summer!

From sea to sky

“British Columbia is where I call home,” says Montgomery. “We have a treasure trove of unbelievable country right in our backyard. Vancouver Island is unique — an island on the west coast — and my wife and I are very connected to Whistler for obvious reasons. We got married in Kelowna, so you could say B.C. has inspired us as a couple since we started dating.”
