he Canadian Rockies are the easternmost part of the Canadian Cordillera, the collective name for the mountains of Western Canada. They form part of the American Cordillera, an essentially continuous sequence of mountain ranges that runs all the way from Alaska to the very tip of South America. The Cordillera, in turn, is the eastern part of the Pacific Ring of Fire that runs all the way around the Pacific Ocean.

The Canadian Rockies are bounded on the east by the Canadian Prairies, on the west by the Rocky Mountain Trench, and on the north by the Liard River. Contrary to popular misconception, the Rockies do not extend north into Yukon or Alaska, or west into central British Columbia. North of the Liard River, the Mackenzie Mountains, which are a distinct mountain range, form a portion of the border between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The mountain ranges to the west of the Rocky Mountain Trench in southern British Columbia are called the Columbia Mountains, and are not considered to be part of the Rockies by Canadian geologists.

After bathing and preening, this female Canada Warbler did some foraging to fuel its autumn migration south. I felt privileged to enjoy such a close view in a quiet corner of Confederation Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
CHÂTEAU FRONTENAC
Diseñado por el arquitecto Bruce Price, el castillo fue uno de una serie de hoteles estilo “château” construidos por la compañía Canadian Pacific Railway a finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX.
Abierto desde 1893.
Los Aliados de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se reunieron durante la Primera y Segunda Conferencia de Quebec (en 1943 y 1944 respectivamente). Durante estas conferencias, funcionarios como el presidente estadounidense Franklin Delano Roosevelt, el primer ministro británico Winston Churchill y el primer ministro canadiense William Lyon Mackenzie King, discutieron la estrategia para la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
En 1953, este hotel fue utilizado como lugar de rodaje de la escena final de la película "I Confess" de Alfred Hitchcock, con Montgomery Clift y Anne Baxter.

I love see and hear Canada geese. This is 37 of a huge flock that flew in this morning. They certainly woke up the neighbourhood with their honking. Canada geese fly at an average speed of about 40 miles per hour when migrating, but may increase their speed to 70 miles per hour if they catch a strong tailwind. They typically fly at an altitude of 2,000 to 8,000 feet, although pilots have reported sightings of Canada geese at altitudes of up to 9,000 feet. Amazing birds!
Canadian Penny
1876 - 2013
R.I.P.
For this week's FlickrFriday theme of "Made No More" I chose the penny as a subject. The life (and death) of the Canadian Penny is so full of fun facts that they cannot all be listed here. But here are a few:
*** For the first 32 years of its life, 1876 - 1908, the penny was minted in Britain and shipped over.
*** Nicknamed a "copper", the penny was not actually made of copper from 1997 on. It was copper-plated zinc or steel.
*** Even with the reduced copper content, pennies in their final years were costing 1.6 cents to make.
*** The Canadian federal government has saved millions of dollars by discontinuing the minting of pennies.

A strange visitor to our garden, Albert our resident Swan, is very territorial and chased this goose up and down the canal until he found refuge in our garden.
Taken in Canada only had a short window before the effect would not be there . on the way to Maligne tours. - Patricia Lake Jasper...
Don't miss this charming Gastropub when visiting Toronto. It offers scratch-made and authentic British cuisine and a beautiful selection of Draught Beers, Cask Ales, and Wine and Spirits in the heart of Downtown Toronto.
I enjoyed it very much for a dinner, but it's also perfect for lunch.
They also have a Den available, and for the warmer months, their outdoor licensed seating areas are really delightful.
It's highly recommended!!
