📣 Traveler notes

Canada is a large, multicultural country known for its natural diversity, including lakes, the Rocky Mountains, and three oceanic coasts. Society is largely secular, polite, and emphasizes cultural tolerance.

  • Major holidays include New Year's Day, Family Day (3rd Monday in February), Good Friday, and Victoria Day (Last Monday in May).
  • Holiday observance may vary by province.
  • Locals appreciate recognition of distinct Canadian identity, even given the close relationship with the US.
  • Public religious displays are discouraged in Quebec (due to *laïcité*).
