Canada draws crowds for APT famil

By Hannah Edensor

Luxury hotel stays at Fairmont properties, a helicopter ride over the Rocky Mountains and a special flight to Vancouver Island were just a few of the highlights experienced by a group of agents on a recent APT Canada famil.

Travelling from Vancouver via Victoria, Whistler, Sun Peaks, Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise and Calgary, the lucky group were shown all the highlights of the Canadian Rockies as they spent 11 days sampling some of the most exciting attractions of APT’s 22-day Rockies Odyssey itinerary.

Unforgettable moments included whale watching in Victoria, witnessing the Northern Lights in Jasper and spotting a grizzly bear in Banff National Park.

The group also spent time exploring the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, the alpine resort of Whistler, Icefields Parkway and also stopped off to admire a snow encrusted Lake Louise, which glistened in all her glory.
