Even if restaurants are closed due to the new coronavirus or consumers eat less often, livestock growth cannot be stopped. As demand has fallen, perishables such as meat, raw eggs and milk are over-produced. Nowadays, duck, which is an ingredient of high-class restaurants, is sold at supermarkets at a lower price than chicken.
The Canadian Department of Agriculture will fund approximately 50 million Canadian dollars (about 4 billion yen) to fund social welfare organizations that provide food to people in need, such as food banks, and promote the purchase of surplus crops. This prevents dairymen from dumping milk into drains and farmers from discarding unsold vegetables.
A unique summer experience tour in Whitehorse, Yukon.
White horse known for its aurora viewing. Dog sledding tours run over frozen lakes and snow in winter, but dogs are not always resting in the summer.
Dog sledding cannot be used from summer to autumn due to the absence of snow, but we are conducting dog sledding training using ATV (all-terrain vehicle, four-wheel buggy) used as a small transport vehicle in the far north of Canada. In the "Summer Dog Sledding Training Experience Tour", you will actually participate in daily training. Let's ride a training car and run with dogs ♪
Due to the coronavirus this year, the number of participants is limited than usual, so early reservations are required.
Starting today, White Horse's summer aurora viewing tour begins.
White Horse is a popular Aurora viewing destination in the Yukon Territory, northern Canada. Summer viewing is not too severe, so it is recommended for people who are not good at cold weather.
At the moment, due to immigration restrictions, customers from Japan are not yet able to come, so it is limited to participation by residents in Canada, but since the season of Aurora continues until April, customers from Japan also come as soon as possible. I would like you to see the wonderful aurora.
The flower of summer is a large sunflower. The Sunflower Festival is held in Chilliwack and Langley outside Vancouver. The period is until the beginning of September.

Vancouver's Farmers Market celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. In the summer of 1995, a small blue-sky market opened in the parking lot of the Croatian Cultural Center. Today, more than 270 shopkeepers sell fresh vegetables and fruits at six locations in the city.
I was worried about the event due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but it is being held this year as well, limiting the number of people who can enter once. In addition, we have started new online sales, and it is now possible to deliver products purchased online in advance and receive them collectively in each market. This is helpful because you can definitely get items that are sold out if you don't go first in the morning.
It's a pity that we don't sell goods such as crafts because of the measures against corona, but it's still fun to buy farmers' markets directly from the producers.

Transport Canada has begun measuring passenger temperature on domestic flights departing from Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

The federal government of Canada does not have an administrative agency like the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that unifies education at the national level.
