Winter TOP 100 In Canada List

Winter sometimes gets a bad rap. But for those of us who love snow and ice, it could not happen fast enough.

“… spring is just around the corner so make the best of it!”

Winter Top 100 in Canada List: There are so many reasons to get outside and love the winter season in Canada. If you do not like the chilly outdoors, do not kid yourself, there is still plenty of indoor activities and events to investigate as well. With the right attitude, some warm clothing and a destination the season of snow and ice can easily become an exciting and beautiful season of changing landscapes, frozen waterways and expanding interests.

Winter Top 100 Is Not For Everyone

There are those among us, called snowbirds, who leave Canada every winter for warmer climates… which is not a problem, nor am I slighting them in anyway. It is what makes them happy and that is number one. Besides each snowbird has their reason, some being medical, some are psychological and some just do not like the winter season. OK, no problem. There is nothing wrong with leaving a Canadian winter behind, if it does not suit you.

Canadian Hibernation

My appeal is directed at those who cannot afford to fly to warmer climates to live. This group can learn to love a Canadian winter. We all know them, the ones who prefer to play hibernation during the winter season. It does not have to be this way? If snow and ice is not your thing then there are the indoor events, functions and interest groups. Join one. Attend one. Just do something. Take advantage of this slower time. Winter should be your season to sightsee, experiment, meet new people and find new interests. Many are listed in our Winter Top 100 in Canada list below. Here are 3.

• attend an indoor event
