Where are Canadian Spas?

In Canada there are spas located in all types of environments from big urban cities to spa resorts operating in remote wilderness locations. Some day spas operate from shopping malls, downtown and heritage buildings. And some high end Canadian spa vacations operate from major hotels, national parks, remote islands and ski resorts.

Difference Between a Spa or Wellness Center?

What is the difference between a spa and wellness centre? Good question. It is simple really... a trip to the spa offers services primarily oriented towards cosmetic treatments and body relaxation. A wellness center is more about taking care of yourself with health treatment programs. Wellness is defined as a necessity while spa is considered a luxury.
