This section also features the editor's choice of exclusive and unique recommendations, including the best beaches, museums and winter sport destinations. An in-depth 'Places' section comprises sixteen chapters covering the entire country, from the icy 'wasteland' of the Northwest Territories to the coastal resorts of Nova Scotia.
