This was so surreal to watch! We just went to Bruce Peninsula at the beginning of June and camped exactly where you were and took the same ferry all in our converted ambulance hahaha! So glad you enjoyed it, it's such a beautiful place! We just discovered your channel and will be following along your travels 😊 From fellow vanlifers!
No idea how I stumbled across your channel, but I did, and have watched a few videos. I'm glad I did stumble across you because I find your videos interesting, fun, and very relaxing after a high-stress day. Thank you guys for being you!! 😀
I've been to Flowerpot Island twice. I've always been amazed at how environmentally friendly services and all the solar powered amenities they have. Solar power oven, solar power freezer and solar power water heater. Volunteers live there and maintain the Island. I like their outhouse designs.
Key point - Toronto is NOT the eastern end of Canada!!!!! Figuratively, it is the centre of Canada, although the rest of the country hates that. There is SO MUCH to explore east of TO.
Hey guys new sub here. Really excited to see you guys hit one of my favorite places to camp and explore in the world. The BP. I feel bad you couldnt explore Flower Pot Island. The island is so cool and has such an ancient, primordial vibe. Concerning your tree comments. Deciduous trees are leafy trees yes and "evergreens" are conifers. The strange tree you were looking at was an eastern white cedar. They grow oddly up in that region because the soil is shallow and the roots have to expand in strange patterns to find soil and water in an area capped by limestone. Flowerpot has cedar trees that are up to 700 years old from I remember. Anyway welcome to Canada and enjoy the rest of your trip.
Am Canadian. Ketchup chips were definitely something I loved more as a kid. These days I lean more towards the "wavy" plain chips (low salt) or cheddar jalepeno from Lay's (same brand you bought here). You should also try a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar! I grew up close to the American border, the chocolate here is much better than in the US.
Hey! I lived on the Bruce for 11 years. The Grotto is beautiful, but it is very cold. The only time you can swim is in July or August, although September can be nice. When I say nice, I mean, maybe 70° Fahrenheit? That being said, I have seen some people swim in June... and believe it or not, clothing like jeans can help keep some body heat from disappearing even if wet. Once out, you need to change into dry duds very quickly. The earliest I've been in is our Victoria Day weekend in May - the weekend before your Memorial Day weekend. I am not too concerned about the spiders, but rattle snakes abound as well as a fair number of black bears.
Welcome to Canada & what a wonderful video! I'm going to that campground next weekend for my last camping trip of the year, so great timing, thank you 🇨🇦
All dressed chips are an other one u only get here in Canada If you ever find ur way to the east cost of Canada you have to try a do air Enjoy ur time in Canada We are happy to have you
Heiio I am Canadian just found your channel and watched many videos from colorado on Welcome to Canada sorry you didn't come to our area but this nation is big can't see everything .Were elderly and less mobile so enjoying your hikes .Good luck to you Your missing a beautiful ride between Banff adn jasper when you get there I have been to Banff three times over the years its great Im going to keep watching .
I really think you two should go as far as White Horse to see the Klondike gold rush history and dredges. Of course then you would be only a tank of petrol away from our most beautiful state of Alaska. There is nothing you can compare us to. July is a very nice month to visit. Visiting Alaska is a very Canadian thing to do. 😊🇨🇦
Check out Long Point bay/ Turkey point, it's a UNESCO nature area, a provincial park is there as well, From there head to Pelee island along the northern lake Erie shore, beautiful
Really enjoy your channel! You two have so much fun doing things I would love to do! Thanks, I cannot hike like I used to but through you two I get to!!!
Was a nice walk to the Grotto. That was so neat looking through the glass bottom boat! The water was nice & clear too! They sell Ketchup Potato Chips in the US too by Lays,
What a fun trip! That water was gorgeous. I would have been just a little worried, being out on a lake with more than 20 boat wrecks, touring those wrecks......😊
Hey you guys, welcome to Canada! I am native canadian from the Cree tribe based in central Alberta. If you are heading out this way, here is a few things about Alberta. The capital of Alberta is Edmonton, where this city has the most sunny days in the entire country! Alberta is home to the oil sands and where most people come to work, the oil sands are based in northern Alberta in Fort McMurray. Lots of money to be made up there is you have a trade. Anyway, I see you have a bucket list, and you have Ketchup chips, so cool, but you need to add "All Dressed Chips" to your list, they are kinda like a bar-b-cue flavor, you will love them, most canadians do. For your breakfast, get some canadian bacon. It's a staple up here, and if you are wondering what kind of bacon to get, it is called back bacon. You will love it. And I could not let you go without mentioning that you have to try Bannock (Indigenous) Bannock is a bread that was once a mainstay in the diets of Canada’s Indigenous people. It’s delicious and flexible. Baked and fried, varieties of Bannock are two modern variations which are crispy and fluffy on the inside. Bannock has been increasingly popular in recent years, with new twists and variations sprouting up in bakeries and cafes across the country. Enjoy and again, welcome to Canada! Safe travels!
when you pass through thunder bay ontario, i live 2 and a half hours north west from there... depending if you drive hwy. 11 you'll be passing by atikokan, which is where i live.... enjoy your travels through canada
Love your show and Congrats on new Can build. With the rising costs of things today how do you afford to Do all this ? Does your tube sponsors support all This ?
Stop by The Calgary Stampede Friday July 7 - Sunday Jul 16! Worlds largest outdoor rodeo. Google it, Lots to do! Looks like you are going to Banff, go a bit north to Columbia Icefields. If you want to do some of that in a helicopter - I Know a guy! 😛
Oh the suspense did you make the ferry on time hope is was a short trip 😲 Definitely pretty area water looks amazing! Please pass the chips! Happy Travels All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
Thank you for come to home and I hope you will have a grant time. Drive safe 100 K is 60 mp. 30 IS 50 K. ARRE GOING TO HIGH WAY 11 IS NORTH WAY TO GO OUT WEST bE SAFE YOUR MONEY IS MORE
Awesome video guys!! Canada looks amazing!! I’m in Michigan right now and will be crossing into Canada tomorrow!! I am so excited!! It’s so cool you went on a ferry!! I can’t wait to see it. My ferry ride yesterday was awesome!!
Hi Jimmy and Natalie! Welcome to Canada! If you're heading up highway 17 North passed Sault Ste Marie, there is a beautiful provincial park called Pancake Bay that might be a fun pits-stop to park Pancake at! Enjoy your Canadian adventures!
Add to your bucket list the Caesar cocktail: "The Caesar, also known as the Bloody Caesar, is considered Canada’s national cocktail. The key ingredients are vodka, clam juice, tomato juice, spices and Worcestershire sauce. It is typically served in a highball glass rimmed with celery salt and garnished with a celery stalk, olives and lime. Food and beverage worker Walter Chell invented the Caesar in Calgary, Alberta, in 1969. Since then, the drink’s popularity and origin have made it a national cultural icon. Canadians drink more than 400 million Caesars annually. However, it has not achieved significant reach beyond Canada." (Canadian encyclopedia). Look out for poison ivy as you stroll through the forest.
One thing to clarify. Georgian Bay is cold at the time you were there but midsummer it’s warm enough to swim. I spent many summers as a kid swimming in Georgian Bay around Midland (Balm Beach) and Wasaga Beach. You’ll discover how much colder glacier fed lakes and rivers are when you visit Banff😊
A must for the bucket list is Hawkins Cheezies! Welcome to Canada! Enjoy! Honk and wave as you pass through Calgary but as others have said, keep going on to BC. Michael and Bonnie
I've long wanted to drive the Trans Canadian Highway. Canada 1. It goes from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is EPIC. Especially the part which transverses the Canadian Rockies. !
It's just important to say that you are only crossing about half of Canada. To the east you won't have visited Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia or Newfoundland and Labrador. Don't forget that you would have about 3000 km (say 2000 miles) to do to get to the Easternmost point of Canada from Niagara Falls.
Foods to try: Bannock, Nanaimo Bars, Saskatoon Berries, Caesars/ Clamato Juice, Montreal Smoked Meat, Have fun munching your way across a beautiful country!
Please keep comparing places you visit. It gives me a better idea of what you’re looking at. For example if you see a place that looks like Caesar’s Head in SC I immediately have a clear picture. I maybe the only person that does this but it seems to help me. Thanks for the Canadian tour. Eh!
The Grotto has a small hole in the rock to slide down thru to get into the cave. That's how i usually get down to it. Also, when you're at the beach..... If you swim around the right side there's a small cave that has a table top rock in the middle. The water is so cold even in August that when you're in there, you can see your breath inside. My top favourite spots in Ontario
Also a great van life and overlander community there. Think I watch at least 3 YT channels from that. Know Chrome and Emi each are traveling different route going north for the summer might try catching up with one of them and follow back down south to VC island if you'll be there into fall. They plus others have traveled all over Canada and probably have some suggestions of other places to go see.
There is coniferous,which are basically evergreen that dont shed leaves in the fall,a lot of them also spread by cones. Deciduous trees are the ons that shed leaves in the fall and grow new in the spring.
Wild picked blueberries! Smarties (the Canadian, somewhat equivalent to M&M’s); fiddleheads (baby ferns) cooked and served as a vegetable, Pizza delight donairs YUM, and of course Tim Horton’s muffins and donuts! We still love all your videos and are following your Canadian travels!
Great video guys. Flowerpot island omg 😍. You asked about the food: probably too obvious but maple syrup. I heard that Saskatoon berry pie is really good. Enjoy your trip in Canada!
I’m so hoping you can catch up with Chrome on van city van life. He seems like a wonderful, wonderful guy. I love watching the both of you guys on UA-cam. God bless both of you and your travels.
Love your flexibility when plans must change. In Ontario you need to have some fresh walleyed pike! In Alberta I highly recommend the Kananaskis Loop that is near Canmore, between Calgary and Banff. It is beautiful, wild, and good camping. Lots of wildlife on and near the road. I am envious of your journey, but glad I get to share it vicariously.
Walleye and Pike are two different fish.Walleye is very good eating as they are in the Perch family.Pike are very slimey and boney and not the best eating.
My partner and I were just in Tobermory/BPNP last weekend! He has a family cottage in Lions Head. We love the area. If you are looking for another Canadian treat, look for butter tarts! Most groceries have them. We’re also big fans of Shreddies breakfast cereal.
Looks like a great time! Glad you made it to Canada. We look forward to following your adventures. If you like beer, make sure to have some Molson! It's different from what we get in the states. I went to college near the US/Canadian border, and I remember kids doing Canadian beer runs!
Hawkins cheezies, Eatmore chocolate bar, Oh Henry chocolate bar, SASKATOON berry pie!!! Ceasar (like a bloody Mary but with Clamato - can make it without alcohol too).
Hello from the P hilippines I flew into Regina sk Then drove # one 17 400 QEW staying around Hamilton 2 weeks Up through Guelgh to the ferry back to Regina Then upto my daughter,s at Flin flon one week Back to Regina Flew back Philippines Back note get on the I was told the motor home was 24 feet Turns out it was 27 feet I think it cost 173 canadian Hole trip 3500 for gas Not bad❤ You must try ainsworth hot springs take the Creston ferry for free
You MUST come to BC!! You’re missing out on a huge and very different part of the entire country. There’s nothing like the pacific coast, Vancouver, and Vancouver Island! Its a must see. I was going to recommend trying Nanaimo Bars, which are from Nanaimo, BC.
So cool power station. I have a Jackery 290 explorer. Jimmy's relaxing in his hemlock. It so exciting to see u travels. Natalie please don't jump Jimmy needs you. Gotta is beautiful. Why the piling of the stones?
Are you guys both born and raised in South Carolina? If so, howcome no southern accents? If not, disregard question, lol. If you'd been gping eastwardfrom Ontario as well, I'd suggest you put Montreal smoked meat and St. Viateur bagels on your bucket list and, of course, Nova Scotia lobster.
Tobermory is stunning, As is visiting Oliphant ontario when the wind is nuking (you will see kiters enjoying the shallow bay and sandy bottom.....its a must visit!!! Calm days get your inflatable paddleboards out...its paradise!!!
Hello, just found you and started to watch your vlogs. Living in Southern Ontario I am looking forward to travelling with you across the country. Are you coming back to do the East coast? If so try a Mc Lobster. Lobster roll. And Cows Icecream, and You still might be able to try some Kawartha ice cream. Safe Travels..
How did I wind up watching a young American couple go to Tobermory? I've never even been to Tobermory... and I'm relatively close. ;p Stay a while Jimmy & Natalie. Maybe have kids and raise a family. We need people here in Canada. Bring your family.
Hi Jimmy and Natalie I watch your videos and enjoy your views. I was wondering if you are having issues with the fires in Canada? The smoke is coming to U.S New York. Have fun enjoy the views, be safe Robert👍🙏🏻
I've only seen a few people answer you "what must we have while we're here"...now it doesn't look like your coming out west ...FYI British columbians think everything is east 😂 you need to find a way to have a Nanaimo bar ..if you get west you need to go to Granville island and or Stanly park. Squamish is beautiful whistler is boring bit beautiful hard to explain ... climb the grouse grind so many things
Saskatoon berries, Canadian beef, buffalo burger, Nanaimo bars. Try chips from more than one company. Ketchup chips from Lays do not taste like those from Humpty Dumpty, etc. Try different sweets to see if you can notice any difference. In Canada we mostly sweeten with sugar from sugar cane (white sugar, brown sugar and molasses). Corn syrup is used in some commercial products; and of course their is always our great maple syrup (try the sugar, toffee and maple butter). A few typical sweets you might find are oatmeal and molasses cookies.
Hope you'll visit Eastern Canada as well. If you do I have plenty of parking for your van. Ketchup chips are good but All-dressed are better! Also, don't try poutine in the West, it's a Quebec thing, you gotta try it there!
If you're going to Banff you should contact Matthew from VanLife Plus... we watch him all the time. He lives close to Banff and it's his favourite place!!
This was so surreal to watch! We just went to Bruce Peninsula at the beginning of June and camped exactly where you were and took the same ferry all in our converted ambulance hahaha! So glad you enjoyed it, it's such a beautiful place! We just discovered your channel and will be following along your travels 😊 From fellow vanlifers!
Oh so cool!! 😄 It is so beautiful there! We love ambulance conversions and we’ll be sure to go check out your build! 😄
Very nice to see normal Americans for a change. Welcome to Canada🇨🇦
The trees form like that with help. Indigenous people would bend the trees as trail markers.
Two more must try foods in Alberta.
1. Ginger beef from a Western-Chinese restaurant in any small town.
2. A good donair.
No idea how I stumbled across your channel, but I did, and have watched a few videos. I'm glad I did stumble across you because I find your videos interesting, fun, and very relaxing after a high-stress day. Thank you guys for being you!! 😀

I heard the maple syrup is awesome.
I hope you know that pickerel is just a regional name for walleye.
Great video. You guys are so well spoken and very good at presenting a verbal story of what we are seeing in the vlog. 😊
Welcome to Canada & what a wonderful video! I'm going to that campground next weekend for my last camping trip of the year, so great timing, thank you 🇨🇦

Victoria, BC is the most insanely cool part of Canada I have visited.
It's right on the start of the Alcan highway ... a great path to Alaska!
😂
Tradional Poutine - fries, cheese curds and brown gravy
I just got back 3 days ago from Manitoulin Island and it was amazing. Hope that you are enjoying the island.
mapel syrup and (Caramel Spread for toast in the morning) my cousin in michigan always ask me to bring her caramel spread :) happy travels
Check out Long Point bay/ Turkey point, it's a UNESCO nature area, a provincial park is there as well,
From there head to Pelee island along the northern lake Erie shore, beautiful
Really enjoy your channel! You two have so much fun doing things I would love to do! Thanks, I cannot hike like I used to but through you two I get to!!!
Best Canadian desert is Naniamo bars.
Do Swiss Chalet and Tim Hortons. You will find them in decent sized towns.
Skip the ketchup chips and go All Dressed! Have fun and good luck in Canada!
You should try Hawkins Cheezes
Was a nice walk to the Grotto. That was so neat looking through the glass bottom boat! The water was nice & clear too! They sell Ketchup Potato Chips in the US too by Lays,
Don’t forget to try Butter Tarts!
What a fun trip! That water was gorgeous.
I would have been just a little worried, being out on a lake with more than 20 boat wrecks, touring those wrecks......😊
I would visit all the Lee Valley Tool locations in Canada but then the van would be too heavy to travel more.

Do all this ? Does your tube sponsors support all
This ?
Stop by The Calgary Stampede Friday July 7 - Sunday Jul 16! Worlds largest outdoor rodeo. Google it, Lots to do! Looks like you are going to Banff, go a bit north to Columbia Icefields. If you want to do some of that in a helicopter - I Know a guy! 😛

Taste the Kit Kat it's soooo good much better than the American one
Are you stopping in Saskatchewan?
Really like your video's... Enjoy Canada
While I understand that some things must be scheduled I hate traveling with such a tight schedule.
Did you notice the rattlesnakes or black bears while there? How did you two meet? Ketchup chips 🤢
Ketchup chip are just like eating fries with ketchup.
Thank you for come to home and I hope you will have a grant time. Drive safe 100 K is 60 mp. 30 IS 50 K. ARRE GOING TO HIGH WAY 11 IS NORTH WAY TO GO OUT WEST

Awesome video guys!! Canada looks amazing!! I’m in Michigan right now and will be crossing into Canada tomorrow!! I am so excited!! It’s so cool you went on a ferry!! I can’t wait to see it. My ferry ride yesterday was awesome!!
Have fun in Canada Cory.
Hi Jimmy and Natalie! Welcome to Canada! If you're heading up highway 17 North passed Sault Ste Marie, there is a beautiful provincial park called Pancake Bay that might be a fun pits-stop to park Pancake at! Enjoy your Canadian adventures!
Hi guys, Canadian here…..you need to try Hawkins Cheezies! Best Canadian snack ever!
Add to your bucket list the Caesar cocktail: "The Caesar, also known as the Bloody Caesar, is considered Canada’s national cocktail.

Canadians drink more than 400 million Caesars annually. However, it has not achieved significant reach beyond Canada." (Canadian encyclopedia). Look out for poison ivy as you stroll through the forest.
Sounds gross but is better than a Bloody Mary!
This is a must!!!
One thing to clarify. Georgian Bay is cold at the time you were there but midsummer it’s warm enough to swim. I spent many summers as a kid swimming in Georgian Bay around Midland (Balm Beach) and Wasaga Beach. You’ll discover how much colder glacier fed lakes and rivers are when you visit Banff😊
Gord, I love Balm and Wasaga beaches!
Agreed, I grew up cliff jumping at the grotto!
Agreed in the summers it's wonderful
A must for the bucket list is Hawkins Cheezies!
Welcome to Canada! Enjoy!
Honk and wave as you pass through Calgary but as others have said, keep going on to BC.
Michael and Bonnie
Add to your bucket list…. Strike up a random conversation with a Canadian and see what happens. (It’ll all be good).
It looks like you’re having a blast !!! I hope you continue to have amazing adventures in Canada 🇨🇦
When you are going through Thunder Bay, stop at the Terry Fox Memorial. A great tribute to a wonderful Canadian.
If you like a nice, light white fish you need to try some fresh fried WALLEYE in Canada maybe the 1,000 lakes region N of Minnesota
I've long wanted to drive the Trans Canadian Highway. Canada 1. It goes from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is EPIC. Especially the part which transverses the
Canadian Rockies.

Aw that’s a really good way to look at it that we didn’t consider! 😊 I suppose it gives a good reference point when we do! Thanks!! 😄💚
You forget Quebec french speaking province on your itinerary, best poutine and maple syrup products …
Too bad you are going out west, because the seafood in Cape Breton is amazing and of course the world famous Cabot Trail.
The Grotto has a small hole in the rock to slide down thru to get into the cave. That's how i usually get down to it. Also, when you're at the beach..... If you swim around the right side there's a small cave that has a table top rock in the middle. The water is so cold even in August that when you're in there, you can see your breath inside. My top favourite spots in Ontario
I can remember aunt Beas warm Saskatoon pie served with a dollop of fresh warm cream straight from the cows back on the farm. Mmm
You have to go to British Columbia. Its a really beautiful province. Full of lakes , mountains and wonderful wildlife
Also a great van life and overlander community there. Think I watch at least 3 YT channels from that. Know Chrome and Emi each are traveling different route going north for the summer might try catching up with one of them and follow back down south to VC island if you'll be there into fall. They plus others have traveled all over Canada and probably have some suggestions of other places to go see.
That would be cool video meetup!!
You betcha.
There is coniferous,which are basically evergreen that dont shed leaves in the fall,a lot of them also spread by cones. Deciduous trees are the ons that shed leaves in the fall and grow new in the spring.
Wild picked blueberries! Smarties (the Canadian, somewhat equivalent to M&M’s); fiddleheads (baby ferns) cooked and served as a vegetable, Pizza delight donairs YUM, and of course Tim Horton’s muffins and donuts! We still love all your videos and are following your Canadian travels!
You need to have your pickerel in Manitoba with their wild rice!
When you get out west if anyone tells you to try Prairie Oysters just say no thank you 😂.
Y’all should have gotten the Old Dutch ketchup chips!! 😂😂😂
Great video guys. Flowerpot island omg 😍. You asked about the food: probably too obvious but maple syrup. I heard that Saskatoon berry pie is really good.
Enjoy your trip in Canada!
I’m so hoping you can catch up with Chrome on van city van life. He seems like a wonderful, wonderful guy. I love watching the both of you guys on UA-cam. God bless both of you and your travels.
That would be cool 😊
don't forget about smoked goldeye if your in winnipeg
You have to try dill pickle chips also.
Thanks! Put this in your tank as soon as you turn ... "North to Alaska" 🙂
Or buy a couple disappointing burgers.
Wow, thank you so much!! 😄 We really appreciate this! 💚🥰
Love your flexibility when plans must change. In Ontario you need to have some fresh walleyed pike! In Alberta I highly recommend the Kananaskis Loop that is near Canmore, between Calgary and Banff. It is beautiful, wild, and good camping. Lots of wildlife on and near the road. I am envious of your journey, but glad I get to share it vicariously.
Walleye and Pike are two different fish.Walleye is very good eating as they are in the Perch family.Pike are very slimey and boney and not the best eating.
Malt vinegar on French fries

You MUST come to BC!! You’re missing out on a huge and very different part of the entire country. There’s nothing like the pacific coast, Vancouver, and Vancouver Island! Its a must see. I was going to recommend trying Nanaimo Bars, which are from Nanaimo, BC.
So cool power station. I have a Jackery 290 explorer. Jimmy's relaxing in his hemlock. It so exciting to see u travels. Natalie please don't jump Jimmy needs you. Gotta is beautiful. Why the piling of the stones?
Are you guys both born and raised in South Carolina? If so, howcome no southern accents? If not, disregard question, lol. If you'd been gping eastwardfrom Ontario as well, I'd suggest you put Montreal smoked meat and St. Viateur bagels on your bucket list and, of course, Nova Scotia lobster.
Tobermory is stunning, As is visiting Oliphant ontario when the wind is nuking (you will see kiters enjoying the shallow bay and sandy bottom.....its a must visit!!! Calm days get your inflatable paddleboards out...its paradise!!!
Hello, just found you and started to watch your vlogs. Living in Southern Ontario I am looking forward to travelling with you across the country. Are you coming back to do the East coast? If so try a Mc Lobster. Lobster roll. And Cows Icecream, and You still might be able to try some Kawartha ice cream. Safe Travels..
How did I wind up watching a young American couple go to Tobermory? I've never even been to Tobermory... and I'm relatively close. ;p Stay a while Jimmy & Natalie. Maybe have kids and raise a family. We need people here in Canada. Bring your family.
Hi Jimmy and Natalie I watch your videos and enjoy your views. I was wondering if you are having issues with the fires in Canada? The smoke is coming to U.S New York. Have fun enjoy the views, be safe
Robert👍🙏🏻
I've only seen a few people answer you "what must we have while we're here"...now it doesn't look like your coming out west ...FYI British columbians think everything is east 😂 you need to find a way to have a Nanaimo bar ..if you get west you need to go to Granville island and or Stanly park. Squamish is beautiful whistler is boring bit beautiful hard to explain ... climb the grouse grind so many things
Have to watch the Canadian Snow Birds aerobatic team. They are worth seeing. And the RCMP Mounted Ride. Enjoy your trip to this country! Eh!
Saskatoon berries, Canadian beef, buffalo burger, Nanaimo bars. Try chips from more than one company. Ketchup chips from Lays do not taste like those from Humpty Dumpty, etc. Try different sweets to see if you can notice any difference. In Canada we mostly sweeten with sugar from sugar cane (white sugar, brown sugar and molasses). Corn syrup is used in some commercial products; and of course their is always our great maple syrup (try the sugar, toffee and maple butter). A few typical sweets you might find are oatmeal and molasses cookies.
Hello! 👋😁 From Canada 🇨🇦, Province of Quebec, city of Gatineau/Ottawa (Ontario).
Hope you'll visit Eastern Canada as well. If you do I have plenty of parking for your van. Ketchup chips are good but All-dressed are better! Also, don't try poutine in the West, it's a Quebec thing, you gotta try it there!
If you're going to Banff you should contact Matthew from VanLife Plus... we watch him all the time. He lives close to Banff and it's his favourite place!!
So how do you like those petrol prices. Safe Travels from Show Me RV Adventures. Clayton&Denise.
