Brand Story

Forest in BC

Brand Belief

We believe that travel is a force for good.

It generates wealth and wellbeing for all of Canada and enriches the lives of our guests.

Brand Ambition

To inspire radical openness in the world.

There’s something about Canada that’s hard to put into words. But when people visit, they feel it. Something opens up in them. An openness that doesn’t end when the trip does. 

Our guests carry it home – in how they talk, how they connect, and how they see the world. 

Canada leaves a lasting mark, not just on their passport, but on their hearts.

Our Brand Promise

Canada's openness connects you with what is real.

In a world that is increasingly fake and filtered, our guests have an instinctive preference for what is real and authentic.

Canada’s openness – open hearts, open minds, open spaces – is an antidote to the overly manufactured and curated world we are living in today.

Tone of Voice

Canadian Candor

We’re refreshingly real. We don’t overcomplicate things. We’re confident in the beauty and warmth that Canada has to offer, so we don’t need to try too hard. We speak in a shoulders-down, relaxed yet confident tone. We’re down-to-earth. We don’t try to impress you with complex or clever sentences. We don’t use unnecessary jargon. We speak naturally.

Canadian Candor, means we are:

Never too
try-hard

Never too
earnest

Never too
folksy

Never too
slapstick
