NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR NL Winter Games February 24 to March 2 The region surrounding Gander, including Appleton, Benton and Glenwood, plays host to the whole prov- ince, which itself is split into 10 competing regions. The one that earns the most points in the Games wins the Premier’s Cup. The Games feature winter activ- ities you’d expect like hockey, curling and cross-coun- try skiing but some indoor sports count too, including volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, table tennis and even wrestling. Who says they can’t be part of winter?
NOVA SCOTIA Hike the Highlands All winter long
Canada’s National Parks are the envy of the world. Yet even then, few are lovelier than Cape Breton Highlands National Park with its dramatic canyons and breathtaking coastal views on the Cabot Trail. In summer, the place is chock-a-block with visitors but in winter you get it all to yourself. Take note, hiking here in the winter is not recommended for the com- pletely inexperienced. Fortunately, you can drive the Cabot Trail, stop anywhere and take in the gobsmack- ing wintry emptiness at your own pace and comfort level. It’s an experience you’ll never forget — but will be tempted to repeat.
