Beautiful Montreal, Quebec in the wintertime. A slice of old Europe within Canada, Montreal is different from everywhere else. A day’s wander might take you to the 18th-century facades of the old city, or cycling to the lovely Canal de Lachine. Take in the glittering shops and restaurants of downtown, or settle into the inviting terraced cafes of Plateau Mont-Royal. The architectural sweep of the city takes in a wealth of heritage, including the breathtaking Basilique No...tre-Dame, the 20th-century Stade Olympique and Habitat 67.

When Product Specialist Stephanie was asked 'what one thing in Canada should you experience at least once in your life?' she answered: "Everyone should experience being at the top of Grouse Mountain in the winter and seeing the sun set upon the ocean, with the glowing city in the southeast. After watching the glistening sunset from the patio, you can walk a few steps outside and enjoy activities such as snowboarding or skiing and ice skating under twinkling lights a winter... wonderland experience!" While this photo of Stephanie was taken in Johnston Canyon, Alberta, BC is pretty spectacular too! Combine them both on a trip through Western Canada when borders reopen. #CanadaByDesign
