Sixty-five percent of the country is covered in snow for roughly six months each year, according to
Statistics Canada. And that makes cold winter weather a fact of life for Canadians.
Whether you prefer to head outdoors looking for adventure or spend the cold days staying cozy at home, here are some of the most popular ways to get through the winter months.
Sledding
Approximately one in 10 families engage in winter tobogganing each year, StatCan says. It’s easy to see why. Sliding downhill on a toboggan can be fun and exhilarating while the walk back up the hill counts as exercise. Staying active is a natural mood boostser and contributes to a healthy lifestyle.Building a Snowman
Another popular family snow activity is building a snowman together. You can keep it traditional with a hat, scarf, and carrot nose, or get creative and build a snow creature to guard your yard.Ice Skating
