SASKATCHEWAN Frost Regina January 26 to February 3
This sustainable winter festival is supported by Regina’s business community, welcoming visitors and locals alike. Activities include downtown skating amid enchanting light installations, live music, dogsled- ding, costumed curling in the football stadium, lovely ice sculptures with plenty of space for selfies, art and traditional dancing, and much more. Small wonder or- ganizers call the festival and town “a place where the world comes to play.” Keep your eyes peeled for their mascot, Jack Frost, who is a snowman but not at all abominable.
ALBERTA SnowDays Festival January 19 to February 4
Banff and Lake Louise are already among the loveliest places to behold, not just in Canada, but anywhere. The SnowDays Festival just elevates that. Between 4 and 8 p.m. daily throughout the event, Bear Street is overtaken with live music, circus acts and street per- formers. For kids on Wednesdays through Sundays, there’s a Play Zone with innertube sliding hills and a fat-tire bike track. Of course, everywhere you look, there are magnificent snow sculptures. Finally, be sure not to miss “skijoring”, a suite of skilful horse-rid- ing tricks combined with skiing stunts.
