About All Canada

Editorial office: Toronto, Ontario · Founded: 2024 · Last reviewed: 15 May 2026 · How we work

All Canada is an independent editorial guide to the country's provinces, territories, cities, and regions. We are based in Toronto and publish long-form, original content written by Canadian writers who have travelled, lived in, or spent serious time in the places they cover. Nothing on this site is pulled from a tourism board press release, generated by an automated tool, or published without a human editor reviewing it against sources.

The site launched because we kept finding the same problem: Canada is genuinely vast and genuinely varied, but most online travel content treats it as a postcard collection. A paragraph about Banff, a paragraph about Montreal, a few stock-photo captions, done. That approach is useless if you are trying to actually understand a place well enough to visit it intelligently, move there, study there, or simply read about it with the depth it deserves. So we built something else.

What we cover and how

Every province and territory gets its own long-form guide, typically covering history, geography, the capital city and major regional centres, Indigenous land and treaty context, cuisine, post-secondary institutions, sports culture, commerce, arts scene, and a practical multi-day itinerary. We write these as if the reader is planning to actually go, not just browse.

We update pages on a rolling basis, not just when something big happens. Housing costs, restaurant recommendations, transit changes, and political shifts are reviewed at least twice a year. If something is wrong, we want to know — the correction email on our contact page goes to a real inbox checked every business day.

We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. Businesses, tourism boards, hotels, and restaurants cannot buy inclusion in our guides, influence our ratings, or pay to be removed from a critical mention. Our full standards are on the Editorial Policy page.

How the site is funded

All Canada is funded through display advertising, primarily Google AdSense. Ads appear alongside our editorial content and are clearly marked as advertising. Advertisers have no influence over what we write. We may also earn affiliate commissions on travel bookings or purchases when readers click certain links; these relationships are disclosed when they exist and do not affect our editorial recommendations. See the Advertising Policy for the full rules.

Our editorial standards

Every factual claim is sourced. Statistics come from Statistics Canada, provincial government data, or established academic sources. Historical claims are cross-checked against recognized Canadian history references. When something is disputed, we say so. When data is old and no newer figure exists, we say that too. We distinguish clearly between places our writers have direct knowledge of and places researched but not personally visited.

Corrections are taken seriously. If you find a factual error, please email [email protected] with the page URL, the error, and a source for the correct information. We will investigate and correct within five business days if the correction is confirmed.

Who writes for All Canada

Every page on this site is written by a person whose name is attached to the work internally. Our small editorial team is anchored in Toronto with regular contributors based in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, Halifax, St. John's and Whitehorse.

How we work: our methodology

Every guide on All Canada follows the same five-step process: Reporting (a writer who knows the region drafts from first-hand experience), Primary-source verification (every factual claim is checked against Statistics Canada, provincial agency data, Parks Canada, or recognised academic and museum sources), Editorial review (the piece is read by a section editor for tone, balance, sensitivity and completeness), Fact-check (Dr. MacKinnon's team performs a final pass against the original sources), and Publication and review cycle (province and territory pages are reviewed at least every six months; city pages every nine months; legal and policy pages annually).

What makes our content different

Our province and territory pages run between roughly 12,000 and 28,000 words. The Nunavut page covers each of the 25 communities, the Inuit Land Claims Agreement, climate and seasonality, the cost of food and fuel, the Northern Allowance, and a practical visitor itinerary. The same depth applies to PEI, Saskatchewan, Yukon and every other region. We try to be honest about the parts that are hard: the cost of food in the North, the housing crisis in Vancouver and Toronto, the linguistic friction a non-French-speaker will encounter in parts of Quebec, the difficulty of off-season travel in coastal Newfoundland. The site is structured so a Grade-6 student doing a project on the Northwest Territories finds the same quality of source-checked information as a 50-year-old planning a vacation. We have no parent company, no tourism-board contracts, no paid placement, and no investors to please.

A brief history of this site

The first version of All Canada went live in 2024 as a small set of pages on the four largest provinces, written largely by Margaret Sinclair after months of weekend reporting trips. Within a year, the site covered every province and territory at length, added the Who's Who profiles, the Eat & Drink and Arts & Media sections, the Teacher and Student resources, the Where Could I Live comparison tool, and the Canadian Clock reference. Today the site runs to several hundred thousand words of original editorial copy and continues to grow.

Land acknowledgement

Our editorial office sits on the traditional territories of the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe Nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit. The territory is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant. Our regional contributors work on lands covered by Treaties 1 through 11, on the unceded territories of First Nations across British Columbia and Atlantic Canada, on the lands of the Metis Nation, and on Inuit Nunangat.
