Fall: September - December

Fall in Canada (September to December) is a truly fantastic time to visit, especially because of the stunning fall foliage in many parts of the country particularly in regions like Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick. Whether you are walking around a local town looking at its historic sites and buildings, or taking a stroll through a nearby forest, the leaves' colors are a fabulous site to see. From a luscious green, the foliage in the country goes through a complete transformation adding yellows, oranges, and reds you will not want to miss. Enjoy most outdoor activities with fewer crowds than in the summer and take in the beautiful scenery for a truly spectacular visit to Canada.

During the fall months, Canadians celebrate the changing seasons at a number of festivals and events. Visit the Tremblant Symphony of Colors (Quebec), Kitchener/Waterloo Oktoberfest, Niagara Grape & Wine Festival (St. Catherines), and the Celtics Colors International Festival (Nova Scotia).

When it comes to weather, September is still relatively mild, making it a good time to enjoy outdoor activities. The temperatures vary across Canada due to its size and ranging latitude, but you can expect cool temperatures throughout the season. In Toronto, temperatures typically average around 60 degrees Fahrenheit in September, but get down to about 40 degrees in November. Other cities across the country see a similar pattern of cooling with varying ranges.
