It’s winter festival time!
Even in Canada’s colder climes, February is festival time! What better way to get through a long snowy winter than with all sorts of festive, and yes, outdoor, activities?
Two of the biggest winter events are Ottawa’s Winterlude, running now through February 22, and Quebec City’s Winter Carnival, through February 15.
Even relatively balmy Vancouver gets into the act with Winterruption 2009, a performing arts festival that takes over the city’s Granville Island from February 19 to 22.
