Canada's Top Second Home Spots

Luxury At A Lower Price
Other areas with a limited amount of luxury real estate (but a lot of buzz) include the west coast of Newfoundland and St. Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick, which is seeing increasing traffic from the U.K. and Ireland, according to Christine Martysiewicz, a spokeswoman for Re/Max Promotions.

Although most homes in these areas don't reach $1 million in price, they're attracting attention from European investors who recognize the value. Most of the homes are right on the water, and job opportunities are growing--there is nearly $10 billion ($9.87 billion U.S.) in combined capital works projects pending for Newfoundland and Labrador's Avalon Peninsula.

Whether you're looking to invest in a property with potential or enjoy the spoils of an in-demand area, Martysiewicz says Canada's variety is endless.

"Canada, coast to coast, has an abundance of recreational property areas," she says. "There is a phenomenal uniqueness from province to province."

Interesting Facts about Whale Watching in St. Andrews New Brunswick


Sightings May Include: inback, Minke, and Humpback whales, seals, porpoise, dolphins, the occasional shark and bluefin tuna, to name a few.

(Quoted from Tourism New Brunswick)

Whale Facts

Do whales sleep? Not really. Whales have to be conscious to breathe so they never go into a “deep sleep” like humans do. Rather, they let one half of their brain sleep at a time and sleep about eight hours a day in this fashion.

How fast do whales swim? Typically, the bigger the whale, the slower they travel. One of the fastest whales in the Bay of Fundy is the Minke. It is known as the “cheetah of the whales” and has been clocked at speeds of up to 40 km (25 mi.) per hour!

Whale Words

Breaching
Leaping clear of the water. The whale uses its flukes under water to gain enough momentum to rocket its massive body into the air before crashing back down with an enormous splash.

Bubble Clouds
A feeding tactic. The whales swim under water, releasing clouds of bubbles that rise to the surface in a dense cloud. The bubble clouds likely confuse the fish and concentrate them in one area. The whale then swims through them, mouths wide open, and catch all the fish.

Lobtailing/Flipper Slapping
Bringing the tail out of the water and slapping it – loudly!

Logging
Lying still or near the surface.

Pods vs. Gams
A pod is used to describe a flock or school of birds, whales or other fish. A gam is often preferred to “pod” when referring to whales. The term “gam” is a Scandinavian word that means “a social visit” or “a school of whales”. When a group of whales are seen together, they are said to be “gamming” or congregating.

Run with the boat
Harbour porpoises and some of the smaller whales have been known to swim alongside the boat and jump in and out of the water as the boat travels.

Sailing
Often performed by the rare Right whale, “sailing” means hanging vertically upside-down in the water, 'standing' on its head, with its tail flukes in the air.

Spy-hopping
Raising the head slowly and vertically out of the water, then sinking below without a splash. Some scientists say this is evidence of the whale’s curiosity. They like to “spy” on their environment above the water.
