Ron - Things to see and do in Canada (2)






There are many great sightseeing spots in Canada. Two of the most popular are Niagara falls and the Rocky mountains. Another one is the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). Two great places to see the Northern Lights are Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory and Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.

Another interesting place to visit includes the home of “Anne of Green Gables” on Prince Edward Island, better known as “Red-haired Anne” in Japan.

There are less well-known sites as well. For example, “L’Anse aux Meadows” on the island　(and Province) of Newfoundland, occupied around the year 1,000, is the only confirmed site of European settlement in the Americas prior to the voyages of Christopher Columbus 500 　years later.
