New survey says more Canadians heading on summer vacation
CTV
A new survey by HelloSafe shows that more Canadians are planning to take vacation this year compared to last, but there’s still a division on how exactly people will spend their time.
When it comes to summertime fun, Moncton’s Centennial Park and Splashpad is always a popular choice, but it’s just a taste of what New Brunswick has to offer.
“My family is here and there’s so many different parks and water parks. Northern New Brunswick, there’s the Acadian Village, there is the aquarium in Shippagan, there’s so many different family venues and parks, so I just go all over the place. As many places that I can,” said Monique Porier from Shippagan. “There’s just so much to do in New Brunswick that why go anywhere else?”
Porier shares a similar view with other Maritimers when it comes to vacationing right here at home.
“My vacation is every time I get out the door, I’m on vacation. I’m retired,” said Halifax resident Wayne Charles Ford.
Andrew Quigley says he’s a teacher and plans to spend his summer doing a few very important things at home.
“Going to be planning my wedding, getting married in December,” he said. “Budget-wise it’s all very close to home. Running, reading, playing the piano, trying a little bit of self-growth.”
With summer still officially a few days out, many are already planning ahead and a new survey by HelloSafe suggests this is happening across Canada.
