Canada recently invited some of the UK’s best travel bloggers to spend a week in cities across the country, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, as Canada celebrates 150 years. Between us, we shared hundreds of images on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
Pin it for later!
The journey started on a Saturday morning at Gatwick as the bloggers boarded an Air Transat flight, each ultimately heading for a different city. My final destination was Saint John in New Brunswick and I had a fabulous week zip lining, kayaking, eating and drinking and visiting many wonderful places in and around Saint John.
Here are some of the week’s Instagram highlights from every corner of Canada.

Happy 150th Birthday, Canada!
I’ll be raising a glass to you on 1st July.
Disclosure: We travelled to Canada as guests of Destination Canada and Air Transat. As always, I will only ever share my own, honest opinions about all the places I visit and what I do there. That’s the whole point of this blog, after all!

Happy Birthday to spectacular Canada, the country I will never tire of revisiting! How I long to visit the prairies, the frozen landscapes of the north and the cities east of Calgary – meanwhile I’ll just have to settle for these images.
Ah well you know how I feel about canada, there’s a lifetime’s worth of things to see and do, especially for nature lovers in every little corner – 4 years in BC and I barely scratched the surface, so it’s lovely to see all these photos.
Was it really 4 years. Where does the time go! I’m lucky enough to be going back again next year but I still don’t want to have to wait that long!
Such a diverse country! It’s lovely to see all the different sides from our different locations – can’t wait to read all the posts, I suspect my Canada ‘to see’ list is going to be rapidly growing.
Hi Kat – great to see the variety of images across Canada – shows you what a diverse country it is!
Hi Nim, I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s adventures and sharing mine too, of course.
Thanks for including me – it makes me realise how much variety there is to see in Canada, I really enjoyed me trip
Thank you for this fab post Kat, lovely to relive all our adventures through your photos! Karen
Such a fabulous week! And so good to catch up with some of you at the start and end. Wish we could do it all over again. Happy Canada day.
It’s great to see Instagram posts from each of the participants on what proved an insightful week in Canada. Great timing, just ahead of the Canada 150 celebrations. Enjoy them, wherever you may be.
And you! I’m heading to Trafalgar Square to join the celebrations there. Sounds like it’s going to be pretty special.
Great to see such variety of Instagram photos from all over Canada. Thanks for sharing Kat and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA! ??????
And to you Xoe. Have a great day!
