Top Canadian Spa Experiences
from the Canadian Tourism Commission

New CTC list details 57 distinctly Canadian spa experiences in eight Canadian provinces.

Ontario maple-sugar scrubs? Exfoliating treatments with Saskatchewan sea minerals? Wild rosehip and chamomile oils from British Columbia? When it comes to innovative cleansing and aesthetic treatments, Canadian spas rank up there with the world’s best.

The list of spas...

That’s a story that the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) and 57 leading spas across the country want to share. CTC’s brand experiences department spent much of 2008 working with provincial and destination marketing organizations, provincial and national spa groups like Leading Spas of Canada and top Canadian spa writers to compile a list of unique spa experiences from coast to coast.

Spas in eight of Canada’s 10 provinces are on the list. Frank Verschuren, CTC product specialist, says "the Spas Initiative was undertaken to identify spa experiences across the country that tie in well with the "Canada. Keep exploring" brand in order to develop awareness of Canada as an international spa destination.” Later this year, the CTC will incorporate on-brand profiles and imagery to highlight the Canadian spa experience in its nine key markets.
