Commonwealth Games

 Commonwealth Games

In this section I will describe Canada's interest in sports.


In this country the king sport is hockey. Aproximately 25% of Canada's population practices this sport, where the NHL is the major competition and 4 canadian teams play. This sport is mainly played in winter for climatologic reasons

Another common sport to play in Canada, specially in Summer is Lacrosse, a really american sport that was invented centuries ago and is played with a stick were you have to score goals .

Lastly, basketball and soccer are two different sports that more and more people is playing it.
There are 2 different canadian teams in the MLS(Soccer league) and NBA(Basketball).

Fun fact😁: the first Commonwealth game were held in Hamilton,Canada and they are always in the TOP3 in overall medals ranking(they're really good in swimming and running).

 Sidney Opera House After doing a lot of research for going to the Sidney Opera House, which I said before that would be my fauvorite attraction💓, I have arrived to the conclusion  that there are lots of ways of getting there. Firstly, with the extense public transport that Sidney offers(buses, train, metro, rail, light rail and ferries) The best form of getting there in my opinion are the train, bus and ferry. Firstly, you can get a train in Town Hall station and Central station, that will let you in Circular Quay were you get into the Big Bus Tour of Sidney or into a ferry.Moreover, you can take the bus in Central Station.
