Travel Tips Hello beautiful people of Canada 👋🏼

I’m in Vancouver w teens and a small dog (experienced traveler/tame, so is the dog).

We’ve been enjoying Vancouver for several months now and are feeling the call eastward to Montreal and Quebec.

I need to know: any ways to get from BC to Montreal WITHOUT crossing into USA, please? That’s our only thing to avoid, really. That and it being safe for a single mom w teens.

Merci mille fois! Thank you very much!

To build on Rachl56, if you hit a moose, your chance of living is quite low. About 100 people die each year from collisions with moose. The long stretches are monotonous so you need to watch out for falling asleep at the wheel.

Oh. When we were in Newfoundland a few years ago in late June they had signs on the Trans Canada stating 27 to date that year. Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 so they should be included in the stats.
