Things to Do in Canada 153

January 03, 2024

Good morning!

Did you know? Although this winter season has seen very little snow so far, the most snowfall in one season was a whopping 2,446.5 cm. This particular record took place in Revelstoke back in 1971-72. That must have been one heck of a ski season!

Speaking of snowfall, we’re only two weeks into winter, so who knows what’s in store. Either way, there are lots of fun things to do, including festivals, snow sports, and even winter camping.

So without further ado, enjoy the 153rd edition of the Weekly Goose!
