Also try the Guide to Canadian Museums and Galleries, available on the Canadian
Heritage Information Network (CHIN) Web site at
http://www.chin.gc.ca/Museums/e_museums.html.  This is a searchable database
that has information on museum collections, hours of operation, admission fees,
activities, services and events information that is contributed by the museums
themselves.  There are also links to museum Web sites for more information.

People from each province will have their own opinions. There is a lot to
chose from depending upon your interests. Here are a few.

MANITOBA
*Museum of Man and Nature in Winning
*Lower Fort Garry National Historic Park just north of Winnipeg (Upper Fort
Garry is in downtown Winnipeg and only the stone gate is left)

SASKATCHEWAN
Off Yellowhead Highway:
* Batoche National Historic Site (site of former Metis village and
battlefield of the 1885 Northwest Rebellion. Louis Riel, Gabriel Dumont and
all that. A MUST visit place for Canadians!!!!!!!! Forget the French-English
politics (remember, although many people think of it as a French-English
struggle, there were French speaking people fighting on BOTH sides of the
battle and the struggle was really the local people in a territory vs. the
Government of Canada. Just feel and enjoy the history and scenery. This
place has FEELING!  I worked there, and one really walks in history there.
*Battleford National Historic Site (1870s-1920s North West Mounted police
fort/post. 1885 Northwest Rebellion highlights, beautiful vistas) I worked
there too.

Off TransCanada Highway # 1:
*Western Development Museum (several branches e.g. Saskatoon, & Moose Jaw)
*RCMP Museum, Regina
*Fort Walsh (SE Corner of Sask near Maple Creek )

ALBERTA
*Reynolds Alberta Museum and separate Reynolds Aviation Museum, Wetaskiwin
(large collections of farm machinery, aircraft and military vehicles) (I
have only seen photos of these museums but they are impressive)
*Glenbow Museum (Glenbow-Alberta Institue) Calgary
*Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, Drumheller (Dinosaurs galore!)
*Ukranian Cultural Heritage Village (I have not visited it, but have heard
good things about it).
*Fort Edmonton, Edmonton
*Heritage Park Historical Village, Calgary (about 300 acres?)
*Museum of the Regiments, Calgary

There are also many art museums, etc. etc. See if you can get hold of a
Canadian Museums Association Directory or search online under the Museum
Associations.

Have fun.
