For Alberta, for a week-long trip or more, I’d recommend a sidetrip from Jasper National Park to Banff National Park, its neighbor on the southern border. And if staying in Banff, a sidetrip to Calgary is possible.

If heading to Toronto, Ontario Place is a much more family-friendly and less stressful adventure.
Ottawa has much more than Winterlude to offer - there is also Bluesfest rated as one of the top ten music festivals in North America by Rolling Stone magazine, Jazzfest that hosts internationally renowned musicians, the world-class Tulip Festival, and don’t forget all of the great daytrips to small communities in the “Ottawa Valley”.

For smallmouth you would use about a ten pound test line. […]
