Travelling within Canada Canada is a huge country - the second largest in the world by total area. The country is divided into ten provinces and three northern territories. The distance from the Pacific to Atlantic Oceans covers 5,718 kilometres - or 3,553 miles - and six different time zones so when it's noon in Vancouver, British Columbia - it's 4:30 p.m. in Newfoundland, Canada's most easterly province. Because of these geographical challenges, delegates interested in participating in most of the pre and post congress tours will have to fly between provinces as is noted in the pre and post tour sections. The main congress will take place in Ontario - so delegates will be shuttled from Pearson International Airport in Toronto to Guelph, Ontario - where the congress begins. At the end of the congress, on Sunday, September 18, 2011, delegates will be shuttled from Niagara Falls back to Pearson International Airport for their return trips home or for their journey to Atlantic Canada for the post congress tour. We are happy to offer advice to delegates trying to plan their travel routes. However, if you want to determine approximate flight costs within Canada, we'd recommend that you check out the websites of Canada's two major airlines: Air Canada - www.aircanada.com West Jet - www.westjet.com If you had longer to spend in Canada and truly want to see the country from coast to coast, the train is also a beautiful (but lengthy) way to travel. Via Rail Canada offers a four and a half day cross-country trip with sleeper cars.
