Welcome to Canada!
Skytrail Bridge
The longest pedestrian bridge in Canada stretches 914 metres and rises 45 metres above the South Saskatchewan River. The last time a train crossed the bridge was in 1987.
Trans-Canada Railway
The promise of a transcontinental railway made Canada, well, Canada. It was what lured British Columbia into confederation. The railroad was completed on November 7, 1885.
Tunnels under Moosejaw
This is where some local folks made a lot of money in the 1920s — they used basements and interconnecting tunnels to smuggle liquor to the United States when alcohol was illegal. But before that, it was where Chinese immigrants lived, working hard to pay the unfair “head tax” required to immigrate to Canada at that time. The underground labyrinth is still there, refurbished and catering to tourists.
Giant Pitchfork
It’s a big pitchfork in Regina, Saskatchewan. That’s about all we know. The province and the city don’t appear to be too proud of it — we can’t find out anything about the pitchfork on any tourism sites!
Rankin Inlet Inukshuk
This is probably one of the most photographed Inukshuk (a word that means “in the likeness of a human” in the Inuit language). These stone monuments are used by the Inuit to communicate.
Car Weathervane
We don’t know much about this attraction either, except it’s a 1950s car that’s now a weathervane in Carman, Manitoba.
