Pretty sure they use the same ones as USA; at least they did in my hotel in Whistler.

Socket shape is the same as the US but the power is 110V, so you *may* need a converter as well as an adapter. Most chargers, ie for mobiles, cameras etc should be OK without a converter, check the plug part of the charger to see that it says something like 100V-240V or 110V-220V or similar. Things like hair dryers, curling tongs, waxing irons etc are probably single voltage so you would need a converter.

Agree with the others. Not only is the power 110v - it is also different hertz so even with a converter (which won't convert the cycles) things that go round (eg have a motor) will go round slower

Most hairdryers and travel irons marketed as 'travel' versions will have a dual voltage capability.

gryphea, UK is 50hz, the other common AC is 60hz - so would probably go faster actually.
We have separate boot driers for North America and Europe, but other than that - pretty well anything we travel with is either dual voltage or multi voltage as parlor says.
