While Canada is a worthwhile destination to visit year-round; spring, summer, and fall are the best times to visit for spring flowers, warm weather, and fall colors as well as wildlife in the far-off regions of British Columbia. Winter arrives with shorter days, snowfall, and colder temperatures. Christmas festivities and the re-opening of ice skating rinks make for wonderful family fun in November and December despite this.
At a glance:
- Spring (March-May): Great wildlife spotting opportunities, the best time to look at the flowers and cherry blossoms, and the temperature begins to warm up.
- Summer (June-August): Temperature peaks (in July), the best time to do outdoor recreational activities, and a good time to spot wildlife.
- Fall (September-November): The Northern Lights, the temperature begins to drop, and leaves turn a beautiful orange color.
- Winter (December-March): The Northern Lights, skating, skiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding
