  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • The Canadian dollar (CAD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with your card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.
