    Everybody knows about our free healthcare, clean and beautiful landscape, and

    the overall amazing quality of life that come with living in Canada. But what
    about all the little things that make it great to be a Canuck? Here are 13 oftenoverlooked reasons it's awesome to live in Canada.

    1. You Can Do Yoga on Parliament Hill


    Every Wednesday afternoon in the summer, the lawn of our nations
    capital is covered inyoga enthusiasts! This unusual tradition years
    ago with an instructor from a local Lululemon store and several students,
    and it has since morphed into a weekly one-hour free class, often with
    about 1,000 participants. The largest group so far has reached 2,500
    people.
    2. 2. You Can Paddle Past Icebergs
    Canada is one of the best places in the world to view icebergs, and in
    Newfoundland you can do it from shore, on a tour boat or even a guided
    sea kayak adventure. These great white giants break off of glaciers in
    western Greenland and float south along a route known as Iceberg Alley.
    You can even spot their positions via satellite using icebergfinder.com.
    3. You Can See Mother Natures Most Spectacular Light Show
    Canada offers some of the best opportunities for viewing the Northern
    Lights (Aurora Borealis), and Yellowknife is arguably the best place on
    earth to catch this amazing light show. In Yellowknife theres the
    convenience of the nearby community, the landscape is mostly flat,
    there are plenty of clear nights, and most importantly its one of the most
    active areas for the Northern Lights. The best time for viewing is midAugust to April.
    4. You Have Access To The Worlds Longest Recreational Trail
    Four out of five Canadians live within 30 minutes of the 16,800 km Trans
    Canada Trail. Its actually a network of 400 trails and its 73 per cent
    finished. The goal is to complete the 23,000 km coast-to-coast-to-coast
    route by 2017, Canadas 150th anniversary.
    5. You Can Sleep in an Ice Hotel
    The days of igloos may be long gone, but each winter Canadians build
    whole hotels out of ice, with beautifully carved bars, chapels, and even
    bedroom suites with fireplaces. The largest and most famous is Quebec
    Citys Ice Hotel, and now Montreal has a similar hotel, complete with ice
    rooms, igloos and an ice restaurant. If youre not so sure if an overnight
    stay is for you, you can drop in during the winter season for a day-trip.

    Lake country

    Canada has more lakes than any other country -- about 3 million.
    The province of Ontario alone contains about a third of the world's
    freshwater, spread over 250,000 lakes.
    No surprise that "heading up to the lake" is more than just a favorite
    national phrase.

    It's Canada's sacred version of lighting out for the territory -- but with
    cottages furnished with Muskoka chairs, Kevlar canoes and competing
    Gordon Lightfoot and loon mating call soundtracks.
    Recently, Ontario's prime lake district, Muskoka, got the nod from
    National Geographic Traveler as the top summer destination -- in the
    world. Well, yeah, eh? It's beauty up there.
    7. Cleanest air
    In a recent national air quality study by the World Health Organization,
    Canada placed third for the cleanest air on the planet.
    Until the first and second placers (Estonia and Mauritius) are covered in
    CNN Travel's "better than anywhere else" series, we direct your breath to
    Canadian cities -- which average a relatively pristine 13 micrograms of
    PM10 particles per cubic meter.

    8. Niagara Falls
    is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international
    border between Canada and the United States; more specifically,
    between the province of Ontario and the state of New York.
