Kelowna, BC, Canada:

Not far from the US border, but it's still Canada. This morning the temperature was -27*C (or, for you Americans, -16.6*F). Yup, it's getting cold and snowy. I wish I had a camera handy so I could post some pictures.

Anyways, aside from the winter time, it's really nice here. A ton of tourists come here because it is beautiful. Lots of mountains and, of course, Okanagan Lake (home of the Ogopogo)

Ah ah! My uncle and grandmother live there!

Montréal, QC

That's where I currently live. It's a city that was builden up aside from an aboriginal village in New-France, originally called "Ville-Marie". I was born here, but brought up in Gatineau (see below), only to come back here for university. It's about 3,7 million people (second biggest city of Canada after Toronto), we welcomed the international expo in 1967 and the summer olympics in 1976. we have a subway system and an underground network f many kilometers under the downtown area (you could live in Montréal without ever going outside). Montréal was one of the forst cities which developped ice hockey. We live and breathe shows and art. We are one of the new development poles in videogaming. Montréal is famous for its great food variety and for its smoked meat sandwiches and bagels.

Gatineau, QC

I was brought up in a town called Gatineau, in the vicinity of the capital of Canada, Ottawa. It's rather small, but the Gatineau Park is a great place to hike and bike.

In Québec, my province, we have public healthcare, public education and a lot of snow. Actually, there were snowstorms almost every week last year (meaning a good half-meter each time).

Dodgeball in summer, snowshoe hiking in winter.
