Important places in our past are all around you. No matter where you live or travel in Canada, there are museums, historic sites and all kinds of other special places to explore. In each issue of Kayak, we tell you about some that relate to our theme — check them out below! And if you have a favourite historic place, tell us about it.

Where Canada Came Together

Birthplace of Canada

Charlottetown hosted the first talks that led to Confederation. Visit Province House to see where it all happened. In the summer, guides in costumes perform little plays about Confederation.

Bellevue House in Kingston, Ontario, is the best place to learn more about Sir John A. Macdonald. Although he only lived there a short time, it’s full of information about his life.
