Our travel and tourism directory helps you plan your travels in Canada. First select a Province or Territory then from the category menu, pick an accommodation, activity or adventures in Canada.

Our Canada Tourism Network has been dedicated to promoting Canada to world travellers and Canadians for over 10 years. Our focus is to provide the largest online Canadian tourism listing service that not only lists the large chains but also the smaller tourism business that cannot afford the rates required to get noticed on some of Canada's Official Tourism websites.

CanuckTourism

Why become a Member?

Don't get fooled by the others: We've been here for over 11 years.  Our website's original domain name was CanadaTourism.ca registered in 1999.

However, we lost the name due to the death last year of our founder who registered the domain name. Because of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority domain rule of first come, first served policy when re-releasing Canadian website names, it was purchased by a domain reseller at auction. The chart to the right shows who is who today in the Canada tourism website business.

We will not be held hostage to domain resellers who are not in the tourism business!

Our New CanuckTourism Brand

Changing from canadatourism to canucktourism: The earliest recorded use of the term Canuck, sometimes spelled Kanuk, was in 1835. Similar terms such as Cannakers or Canukers were in use in the 1840s. The term was first used in lumber camps in Maine to refer to French Canadian loggers working in the Maine woods. It was used to distinguish them from other Canadians. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1970) suggests it was "possibly a corruption of Connaught, a name originally applied by the French Canadians to the Irish immigrants." This seems unlikely.

The usage had spread by 1850 to mean all Canadians, sometimes used as a derogatory term. Canadians generally use it with pride or light-heartedly. "Johnny Canuck" is a personification of Canada, dating from 1902, just as "Uncle Sam" personifies the U.S. There is at least one hockey team calling itself the Canucks.

The term "kanakas" meaning Hawaiian islanders is probably not related, although some authorities suggest there might be a relation. There is also the term caņada (note the tilde over the n), a Spanish word meaning a glen or small dale between two mountains, presumably also not related.

So, Canada Tourism become Canuck Tourism which is really Canada-Tourism.org with a hyphen because an American reseller owns Canadatourism.org - Only in Canada, Eh.
