Some people come to the Canadian Rockies to see the famous aquamarine waters of mountain lakes, or for a chance to see a bear or elk in its natural habitat. Some come for the bird watching, or because they believe in the healing properties of mineral hot springs, or because they've always wanted to see a glacier. Perhaps most often, people come for the mountains themselves - to climb them, to hike them, ski them, photograph them and to see them. The Canadian Rockies Photo Album contains the work of some of the finest mountain photographers in the world. The photos are of the finest quality, but in the end it is the sublime beauty of the mountains themselves that makes them unforgettable. They are the reason over six million people visit the Canadian Rockies each year.

Under a gloomy November sky, SS Edmund Fitzgerald suddenly surrendered to ferocious gale-force winds, plunging to the bottom of Lake Superior, leaving no survivors. This haunting collection looks back to one of the most legendary, mysterious, and controversial shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. In the great battle between humans and nature, the outcome is often tragic and humbling.

A defining moment in Canadian military history. A much-needed Allied victory. A show of valour and heroism. The battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917 saw Canadian troops storm a strategic 14-kilometre long escarpment that was believed to be impregnable. This was the first time in the nation's history that a corps-sized formation fought together as a unit under its own meticulous planning. Canadian troops persevered under heavy fire to take the ridge, demonstrating incredible discipline and bravery. The battle became a symbol of sacrifice for the young nation and a turning point in its role in the global theatre of war.
