Spread out^fch© map, close your eyes, point your finger and choose a spot. In Newfoundland, visit St. John's on the east coast, the provincial cap­ ital and one of North America's oldest settle­ ments. Tour Signal Hill National Historic Park and learn some history. Outdoors enthusiasts will enjoy the provincial parks. Most have wilder­ ness camping facilities. The province of Prince Edward Island is tourist- oriented and despite its small size offers wide vistas and a variety of activities. During summer months, long stretches of sandy beaches draw bathers. Nova Scotia is especially rich in well-restored his­ toric sites. Don't miss see­ ing the Fortress of Louis- bourg National Historic Park, Canada's major his­ toric restoration project. New Brunswick, the fourth Atlantic Province, is a land of sunny beaches, green forests, fleets of Ashing boats, and rivers with quaint names. New Brunswick has modern cities like Saint John, Moncton and the provincial capital, Freder- icton. It also has St. An­ drews, a resort town whose 19th century character is essentially unchanged. For those who prefer sophistication and excite­ ment, there's always Que­ bec or Ontario. Two of Canada's best known resort areas, the Laurentians and the East­ ern Townships, are located in Quebec. Both have a variety of accommodation and a choice of outdoor activities. Seat of government Ontario, like Quebec, has something for just about everyone. This is a prov­ ince with two capitals. First, there's Ottawa, seat of the government of Can­ ada. The financial, indus­ trial and cultural centre of t)ntario is Toronto, with a reputation for being both safe and clean. Then there's Niagara Falls; Stratford, site of the Stratford Shakespear­ ean Festival; 19th centu­ ry Niagara-On-The-Lake with the annual Shaw Festival; Kitchener-Wa­ terloo's Oktoberfest, etc. If you're the kind of person who chooses the middle course, chances are, if you play Canadian Rou­ lette, you will end up in Manitoba. Winnipeg, the capital, is almost equidis­ tant from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Winnipeg has several ethnic festivals each year. Main one is the annual summertime Folklorama. Visit Riding Mountain National Park for an idea of how varied and beauti­ ful Manitoba really is. Saskatchewan's frontier past is still much in evi­ dence.

Near Saskatoon are Fort Carlton Historic Park, Batoche National Historic Park, and Prince Albert National Park with its excellent fishing, - canoe, camping and other fa­ cilities. Alberta is a year-round resort province. This is where the Canadian Rock­ ies begin. You can hike, camp, ride, canoe, rough it in the wilderness or re­ lax irtvone of the many luxurious resort hotels. Canada's two best-known national parks are located in Alberta: Banff and Jas­ per. So too are two of the liveliest cities -- Calgary and Edmonton, the pro­ vincial capital. British Columbia is Can­ ada's most scenically spec­ tacular province. Towering mountains, lakes sparkling like diamonds and majes­ tic forests are common­ place. Parts of the prov­ ince also boast the coun- ' try's balmiest climate. Pan for gold The Yukon and North­ west Territories cover a vast area of well over V/2- million square miles. It's an awesome land. Main tourist attraction in the Yukon is probably Dawson City, "The City of Gold." Today you can pan for gold in the famous Klondike gold fields. The Northwest Territo­ ries includes the most spectacularly beautiful topography in Canada. Canada welcomes visi­ tors. No matter what the season or the region, a choice of activities and attractions, as well as a good range of accommoda­ tion, stand ready.
