how to say "National Golf Day" in french?

Jour national de golf

what canadian national park in alberta can you swim,ski,golf and hike in the same day?

what canadian national park in alberta can you swim,ski,golf and hike in the same day?

With this information I would have to say it is Banff.

Swim in the hot pools (summer or winter)

Ski - it is one of the major ski centers in Canada

Golf - go to the Banff Springs Hotel and out back of the hotel is a fabulous golf course.

Hike - there are trails all over for casual hikers right up to ones that need some mountain climbing expertise.

There are about 8 National Parks in the western provinces and the Yukon but not all offer all the things you have mentioned. There is a lot of water in all of them but I would not want to try swimming in anything but a pool in Jasper - it's glacial water and very cold. That I think is true of the others as well though I have not been to all of them. And while there is snow in all of them during the winter, not all have skiing set ups. Indeed, even Banff did not always have skiing as it has today. When I first went out there to work in the early 60s, Banff was closed to tourists in the winter. Sunshine Ski Resort has been around since the 1920s but was used mostly by locals and there was no promotion of the area for skiing as there is today. Humidity - You might have to experience eastern Canadian humidity to notice how dry is is there and comparatively speaking it is very dry compared to say Quebec or Ontario.

I think it pretty well has to be Banff and Banff National Park.

A national sport is a sport or game that is consider to be a culturally intrinsic part of a country or nation. In North American English the term national pastime is often used.

Although there are normally no official parameters towards defining what is a national sport, there are some general characteristics that most national sports share:

The rules and objectives of the sport or game are known in fairly great detail in the country or nation.

The game or sport is widely played or watched in the country or nation.

The game or sport has a long history of popularity or extreme current popularity in the country or nation.

In some countries, sport or game can become the official national pastime by mandate of the government, such as with Canada and lacrosse in 1859. [1]

In other countries, where the sport or game has such a long history, such as with baseball in the United States or sumo wrestling in Japan, the sport or game is often considered a de facto "official" national pastime.
