One of the province’s greatest assets is without a doubt its multitude of lakes and rivers. If you enjoy water sports such as kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding, you will be well served during your vacation! For the novice who wants to learn a water sport, visit a place that offers equipment rental and lessons so that you can go on an adventure in complete safety.

Finally, for the younger ones, the water parks will be a source of infinite happiness, guaranteed.
