Canada

Toronto is Canada's largest and North America's fourth-largest city. Its multi-cultural population is spread out over the Megacity, but neighborhoods such as China Town, Greektown and Little Italy retain some of their original character. A typical "Hogtown" treat is the Peameal sandwich, available at the Saint Lawrence Market in the Old Town. The city's landmark CN Tower stands in stark contrast to another local icon: The castle-like Casa Loma. Some other famous architectural feats are the Royal Ontario Museum and the Gehry-designed Art Gallery of Ontario. Kensington Markets is an art-loving, 70s-inspired neighborhood full of shops. Upscale fashion stores surround Dundas Square, the downtown end of Yonge Street. During colder months, the city's huge underground mall, the PATH, offers hours of indoor fun. The Rogers Centre and nearby Hockey Hall of Fame are a must-see for sports fans. Kids will love Ontario Science Centre, the chipmunks in the Edward Gardens, the Toronto Zoo and Canada's Wonderland. The city lies on the shores of Lake Ontario, overlooked by Canada Square in the Harbourfront Centre. Across the water is Niagara-on-the-Lake. From there the Niagara Falls are just a short drive away, so don't miss out on this natural spectacle. For more information, visit http://www.expedia.com/Toronto.d178314.Destination-Travel-Guides

For more Travel, Adventures and Aerials, please visit my channel http://bit.ly/1yaIGah Riding on horseback for 5 memorable days, we travelled through the majestic back country in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. My wife and I joined Banff Trail Riders (www.horseback.com) and filmed the journey from the sky. We rode through the Sundance valley and stopped nightly at rustic cabins along the way... The highlight of the journey was an ascent up to Allenby Pass at nearly 8100 feet. I never thought I'd be riding a horse up the side of a mountain and the memory will last a lifetime. Please follow me if you're interested in this type of aerial portraiture.

A walking tour around the city of Vancouver, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The film chronologically progresses from morning to night, showing daily life around Vancouver. For those planning on visiting, those who’d like to visit but cannot or those who might be nostalgic and want to re-live their past visits / life there, hopefully this film shall satisfy, time and time again. Vancouver is consistently named as one of the top five worldwide cities for livability and quality of life. It's a coastal seaport city with a metropolitan population of over 2.5 million inhabitants, the third most populous in Canada. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada. 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Vancouver is one of Canada's warmest cities in the winter. On average, snow falls on eleven days per year. It's also one of the wettest Canadian cities. Vancouver is one of Canada's largest industrial centres. Port Metro Vancouver, is Canada's largest and most diversified. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Each year over a million people pass through Vancouver on cruise ship vacations, often bound for Alaska. Vancouver has one of the largest urban parks in North America, Stanley Park, a 1,001 acre public park that borders the downtown and is almost entirely surrounded by waters of Vancouver Harbour and English Bay. The park is surrounded by the near-century-old Vancouver Seawall, which can draw thousands of residents and visitors to the park every day. The park also features forest trails, beaches, lakes, children's play areas, and the Vancouver Aquarium, among many other attractions. In June, 2014 Stanley Park was named ‘top park in the entire world’ by TripAdvisor. Major film production studios in Vancouver and Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the film industry nickname, Hollywood North. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including Expo 86, the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Paralympics. In 2014, following thirty years in California, the annual TED conference made Vancouver its indefinite home. Several matches of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup were played in Vancouver, including the final at BC Place Stadium. Filmed at the end of April - early May 2015.
