Question How Well Do You Know Canada??

On the 18th of June I left Victoria, BC to move back to Ont for a about 6 months. Over the course of the next six weeks I drove a little over 10000km. From the Pacific to the GTA, then from the GTA to the Atlantic and back. Over the course of that distance, I took 4 vehicle ferries in 4 different provinces, one of which was cable operated!

Can u guess what ferries I took??

Where in the Atlantic? Nova scotia has a few, so it's a loaded question.

I could say Englishtown, or little narrows, but there are two others there I do believe.

manitoba, saskatchewan and bc have ferries you may have taken, so does Ontario. so there are more than 4 possible answers to your question.

quebec and other provinces too...

You took the one from St. John NB to Digby NS across the Bay of Fundy.

Then maybe from the top of Cape Breton Island to NFLD.

I doubt you took the boat from NS to PEI since the bridge is a much better way to go...unless it was closed.

I took th eone from van to nanimo 6 months ago. I don't even remember what it was called. just that it was BC ferries. I also just learned of a 48h one going from montreal to a little island that's off pei or something. again no idea what it's called.

my avatar is actually from that road trip out west.
