e) Which time of year would you recommend for travel? Explain your reason.
When to go to Canada depends a lot on what you plan to do when you get there. Summer, from late June to August, brings the finest weather and not surprisingly the largest influx of travelers.

Baljit Malhotra

Prices are heights, accommodations are frequently booked up, and crowds fill the wilderness. In many ways, the fall months, particularly September and October, are the most pleasant time to travel, as the weather is frequently very pleasant, the crowds have dispersed, and prices begin to fall.

If you are looking for value, spring is the best time to visit Canada.

Although some tourist facilities in small centres are closed in winter, most remain open.
