News from Canada …

WITH new direct flights from the UK, new accommodation types and significant historic anniversaries, there's plenty happening in Atlantic Canada as the region prepares for the 2014 visitor season that starts this month.

Fewer than six hours' flying time from the UK, a trip to New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island will delight visitors with diverse wildlife, outdoor adventure, seafood fresh from the Atlantic, miles of coastline and scenic driving routes.

Holiday in a box    The Old Salt Box Co., which offers accommodation in restored salt box houses in Newfoundland and Labrador, will open in two new locations: Greenspond and Musgrave Harbour in Bonavista North on the north-east coast of Newfoundland. Salt box homes were made with wooden slats and were popular among Newfoundland settlers between 1865-1920. The company now has six properties accommodating two to six people. The homes have contemporary furnishings, modern appliances, authentic antique bath tubs and signature picture windows. Salt boxes start from £75 per night based on two people sharing. www.theoldsaltboxco.com

New flights    French airline Europe Airpost will launch scheduled flights linking Glasgow with the Nova Scotian capital of Halifax this summer. It will operate a weekly service from July 4 until August 29.


Dine out on history    A Taste of the Past is just one of the new island-themed cooking classes available at Annie's Table, Prince Edward Island's (PEI) first dedicated private culinary studio. Housed in a former church, Annie's Table offers hands-on cooking classes using island-sourced produce. Taste of the Past will honour the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference of 1864, at which the idea of Canada as a nation was proposed.
