The main drink in Canada is coffee. You can find tea but you will have an easier time finding coffee. Coffee shops are all over Canada from the smallest of communities to big cities. You can get coffees of all kinds as well as all sorts of pastries and sandwiches and sometimes this thing called a doughnut. My sister likes this thing called “Steep tea” at Tim Hortons. Sometimes you have to be careful what you order. A drink may look appetizing in a picture and may taste horrible in reality.
Canadians do not have the institution known as “tea”. Therefore it will be hard to get a proper cup of tea either in a restaurant or in someone's home. A restaurant called “Tim Horton's” says it has good tea. If your host is from the British Isles, they might give you tea; but many Canadians have very creative ways of making tea.
I would suggest that you stick with the coffee.
The best place to find a washroom is in a coffee shop. Restaurants are required by law to have washrooms. The other place to find a washroom is in a shopping mall.
The worst place to find a washroom is in the train station. But at least they are functional. Most homes have washrooms.
Canadians don't wear fur coats in August and most of us do not live in Igloos. If you visit Canada in August be prepared for hot weather. Pack your swimsuit. Of course if you visit Canada between September to April, you may wish to pack a coat.
Visiting at Christmas. Despite the cold, the hustle and bustle of the Airport, Christmas is a lot of fun in Canada. Many cities, of which Toronto is the most famous, have Santa Claus parades some time around November and December.
There are lots of place to go shopping. And most churches have special services. But be aware, it is cold In Canada at Christmas. Pack sweaters, mittens and hats. But if I were you I would book my holiday between May and October.
Everyone, no matter who you are, needs to wear a hat in the winter. It doesn"t have to be fancy. You can knit a hat. Or you can buy a haat aat a store. You can buy a hat aaand give to charity at the same time. A winter hat is also called a toque.
My mother used to say, “Wear a hat Mary or else your ears will fall off".
