Booking ahead is worth arranging, since a venue with more than three hundred reviews draws consistent demand through the season.

Vancouver Island's climate runs mild and wet on the coast, with drier summers inland. Fishing, sealing and shipbuilding shaped island communities, and Celtic music survives in Cape Breton and Newfoundland. English is the main language, with French in parts of PEI and Nova Scotia, and Inuktitut in Nunavut's islands. Canada's Arctic Archipelago includes Baffin, Victoria and Ellesmere Islands, among the largest islands on Earth.
