Ontario, New Brunswick, Alberta, around Calgary - kiteboarding Keho Lake in Southern alberta;Quebec,around Montreal and the East Coast all have growing kiteboarding and snowkiting communities and forums, so local kiters can learn about good launch spots, check conditions and share information. When many people think of Canada they, of course, think of snow. The reality is that the summers can get really warm (although you can't go wrong by having a 4/3 wetsuit for most of the year); and, there is access to snow anywhere in Canada in the winter. Snowkiting is getting more and more popular as people find great spots in the Prairies and Eastern Canada on open fields and lakes and often enjoy kiting these uncrowded places with just a few friends.
