Austria

Relationships between Austria and Canada continue to grow. With similar standards of living and the sharing of many common interests, the Okanagan Valley offers parallel business and residential ideals. Austria has become a favourite destination for Canadian artists, which has opened the doors to Austrians visiting Canada.
