The TFO children’s program, Mégallô, visited Winterlude this year.  Check out some of their experiences!



Video Translation

We’re here at Winterlude — on the Rideau Canal Skateway, to be exact.

Yes, and this skating rink is really big! Apparently, it’s equal in size to 90 hockey rinks.

So, it doesn’t really matter what your skating ability is. You’ll always be able to find somewhere to practise.

Come and enjoy Winterlude! There are lots of activities, besides skating.





Video Translation

We’re here at Sun Life Snowflake Kingdom, at Winterlude, where some 650,000 people have been coming each year for 31 years.

Yes, and more than 800 volunteers participate in this celebration of Canada’s winter traditions.

Hey, Michel! Do you think you might volunteer this year?

Well, I think I’m going to go sliding, do some skating, and then I’ll eat two or three BeaverTails, and — maybe after that.

And most of the activities are free!

What are you waiting for? Come and join in the fun!
