Are you vacation deprived?

Got the time, but not the money?
Eighteen per cent of Canadians who don't use their full vacation allotment cite lack of money as the reason for not taking a holiday. Too often, the word "vacation" implies an exotic destination, but the Canadian Tourism Commission suggests that fun and fabulous vacations are often on our doorstep. Check with your provincial (and city) tourism offices to find out what's available in your own urban/rural backyard.
