Provinces: The Future
We've reached the end of the series, because the 13th and final province/territory is Nunavut, which was only split off from the Northwest Territories in 1999. I've never been there, which means our final list looks like this:
Introduction
1. Ontario
2. Quebec - Never Visited!
3. Nova Scotia
4. New Brunswick
5. Manitoba
6. British Columbia
7. Prince Edward Island
8. Saskatchewan
9. Alberta
10. Newfoundland and Labrador - Never Visited!
11. Northwest Territories - Never Visited!
12. Yukon
13. Nunavut - Never Visited!
Or if you prefer a graphic version of the provinces and territories that I've been to, here we go.
visited 9 provinces and territories(69.2%)
Looking to the future, I definitely want to go to Quebec one day, specifically Montreal. The Jazz Festival seems like a prime candidate, now that the Expos are no longer there for a ballpark tour.
M and I have discussed going to Newfoundland and Labrador on some future trip, most likely to Newfoundland, which pragmatically means going to St. John's.
As far as the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, they are far away, hard to get to, and while they both contain national parks, there is plenty of scenic beauty that's a lot easier to get to. I don't feel a burning need to go there one day. Perhaps in our imminent warmer future cruise ships will stop there in the summer as they go from Vancouver to New York City via the Northwest Passage, as the Crystal Serenity did in 2016. Absent something like that, I don't see myself getting past 11/13.
In those provinces I've already visited, there are places I'd like to return. I certainly want to get to Vancouver one day, as I've friends there and heard many good things about it. We loved Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and would like to return. In the latter, going to Cape Breton and the Bay of Fundy are high on our lists. Beyond that, there's nothing that requires an immediate return to Canada, although I could probably spend a few years hopping through all their national parks.
