Some of them were obvious, like Quebec City or Vancouver. While I’m not listing those here, they are, of course, terrific vacation spots. Below is our first Eight Places to Go in Canada in 2019 list. The suggestions have been edited for space:

• I am a Canadian and attended McGill University in Montreal. Its outdoors club led cross-country ski trips every winter, including one I took to Parc National du Bic in March 2015. Six hours’ drive east of Montreal on the south shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it covers wide-ranging terrain including bays, beaches, forests, fields and dramatic cliffs. We arrived at the tail end of ski season, during breakup on the river. — Alice Norris, Santa Fe, New Mexico

• If you come to Canada and don’t visit Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, then you haven’t really visited Canada. It is not overrun by manufactured tourist experiences and, on top of that, it is a Unesco World Heritage site. — Jerry Belben, Halifax, Nova Scotia
