Top 10 Sights in Western Canada

There are so many reasons to love western Canada: The Vancouver Olympics are just around the corner, and you know how we feel about a certain Banff Squirrel. We’ve put together a series of resources so you can explore Canada’s wild west. Our January/February issue has a walking tour of Vancouver, and you can find a complete city guide to Vancouver online. Our A*List newsletter was devoted to western Canada this week (want to get the A*List in your inbox? Subscribe here.)
