What kind of clothing is best for North America?
Most useful will be clothing that can be worn in layers; i.e. walking trousers, shorts, light shirts and sweatshirts or jumpers. If you have a choice, a fleece jumper and waterproof jacket are much better than bulky/heavyweight sweaters/ jackets. It will be cold in the evenings in June and September, whilst it can be warm during the day.

How should I take money to Canada?
While Canada is quite reasonable, it's not the bargain destination it may have been in years past. You should allow $15 - $20 a day for small expenses such as snacks, souvenirs, postcards etc. Money is best taken in Canadian Dollars, which you can get before travel or upon arrival. ATMs are widely available as well.

What is the weather like in this part of Canada?
With a latitude and maritime situation much like the UK, temperatures in the coastal region and mild summer temperatures average 22oC in Vancouver, but can reach as high as 30oC in the low lying interior. June and September are usually a bit cooler, and the coast can get rain at any time. The mountains have typical mountain weather, and sun, cloud, rain and even snow can all be experienced in a morning!
