To launch the YesYouCanada campaign, Expedia has enlisted the
help of New Brunswick-born
acclaimed chef, restauranteur, actor and executive producer
Matty Matheson, who explains: "My
love for Canada runs deep, so I'm
excited to team up with Expedia and Destination Canada to help
people get to know my country the way I know it and invite them to
make a little piece of 'Canadiana' their own. Each of these
nameable items are iconically Canadian and completely one of a
kind."
From an ice fishing shack on Lake Winnipeg to a train seat with
a breathtaking view of the Canadian Rockies, each of the 13
nameable items up for grabs on Expedia's YesYouCanada hub have been
selected in partnership with Canadian tourism agency Destination
Canada, the National Tourism

hidden gems, local businesses, incredible places to stay, and
experiences that can only be found in Canada.

priceless gift of a hockey team named in their honor," says
Melanie Fish, head of Expedia Group
