Best Canadian Cities for Families

Considering Canada this year? Here are some of the best cities for families to explore and enjoy!

Interior Upgrades Begin Rolling Out Across United Fleet

United Airlines is in the midst of a major initiative to modernize its fleet over the next several years. After first announcing the plan in 2021, planes fitted with United’s signature interior are finally beginning to appear across the airline’s narrowbody fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.

Known as the Cantons l’Est, or Eastern Townships, the region of Quebec between the Saint Lawrence River and the Canadian/U.S. border is a bucolic landscape of lush farmlands, gently rolling hills, pristine lakes and small towns.

Laurentians for the Family

When you think of vacations in Canada, the first things that come to mind are probably snow, mountains and sub-zero temperatures, and while there are certainly many times of the year and parts of the country where these would not be the first thing your family sees, the Laurentian Mountains provide an excellent backdrop for families who do want to get away to just these conditions.

United Continues Its Global Expansion

United Airlines keeps soaring to new heights, recently announcing another expansion of its leading global route network. The airline added new non-stop flights between Newark (EWR) and Marrakesh (RAK), Morocco; Tokyo (NRT) and Cebu (CEB), Philippines; and Houston (IAH) and Medellin (MDE), Colombia. That’s not all: United also plans to increase flights to popular worldwide destinations including Hong Kong (HKG); Seoul (INC), South Korea; and Porto (OPO), Portugal. Following the recent agreement to increase flights between the U.S. and Chinese governments, the airline now adds four weekly flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Shanghai (PVG).

Montreal’s Family-Friendly Parks

A World Expo in 1967 and the Summer Olympics in 1976 left Montreal with two beautiful parks, one on an island in the St. Lawrence River built expressly for the expo, and the other atop a hill overlooking the city. Montreal has put both to good use in the years since, as parks for outdoor activities, sports and beautiful gardens. Between those and the riverbank parks in the city center, there is plenty of space for kids to run, and enough activities to keep families entertained.
