This article I wrote recently gives a good overview of why Canada is a a highly significant and meaningful destination (accessible, affordable, diverse, beautiful, safe and secure, and easy to plan).

3. The Atlas of Canada

For maps and related information to Canada this is a great resource.

4. The Canadian Encyclopedia

This online encyclopedia is the definitive source for all things Canadian, be it geographical, cultural, political, or whatever. It is also the most reliable source for the facts. Developed originally by a major publisher and many well-known experts (and funded by a Canadian philanthropist), the Canadian Encyclopedia is now online, updated regularly, and free to use.

5. The Canadian Tourism Commission

This is Canada's number one federal government department whose mandate it is to stimulate and support travel and tourism business. There is a general user-friendly map of Canada on this page.
