Overview
Those expecting Canada to be a boring version of the USA are in for a suprise. Canada's wild northern frontier, which has been kept clean and pristine, and its distinct multicultural peoples have created a country that is very entertaining. Please read some of our travel information to find out more about our exciting adventures.
When To Go?
Spring, summer and autumn are all ideal for touring, though if you want to ski you'll naturally have to come in winter or early spring. For campers and those who want to visit the far north, the summer months of July and August are best. Summer is also when many of the country's festivals take place. Note that the peak tourist season is between Victoria Day (late May) and Labour Day (early September). Although spring and autumn have fewer crowds, lower prices and a more relaxed pace than the summer months, some visitor-oriented facilities and attractions may be closed during these shoulder seasons.

Room Sharing and Co-Ed Policy
Our policy is to room girls with girls and guys with guys. There are circumstances where you can opt for co-ed. Basically it amounts to everyone in the room agreeing to share with the opposite sex. Examples:
A couple want to share a room but there are only 2 of them. They can't say that they don't mind having others in the room. The others will mind.
A group of 3 friends (mixed) say they don't mind another guy / girl sharing doesn't work. Same reason.
A group of 3 friends (mixed) buy the upgrade to 3 per room. No problem.
A couple buys the upgrade to 2 per room. No problem.
A group of 4 friends (mixed) all agree to sharing. No problem.
Payment
All money must be received by a representative of West Trek Tours Inc. prior to departure. Sorry, no personal cheques.
