ATTEND THE LAUNCH OF CHAINSAWS IN THE YUKON!
We knew ax throwing, but here we are in the upper category thanks to the RENDEZ-VOUS festival! For a week, the city of Whitehorse is buzzing with winter activities, each one more original than the next. On the program: pancake breakfast, ax or chainsaw throwing, dog sledding competitions, carrying bags of flour, etc. To live … cautiously all the same!
The Yukon in winter is also a unique opportunity to take part in the international frozen hairstyle competition! Immerse your head in thermal waters at 42°C, then let the magic of the cold do its hair work. In the Yukon, the expression “keeping a cool head” takes on its full meaning.

SLIDE AT WINTERLUDE IN OTTAWA
Winterlude was created to celebrate the culture and climate of Canada’s capital. The organizers were inspired by the ancestors who gathered to have fun in good company during the long winter months.
Since then, Winterlude has taken place every year in February in Ottawa-Gatineau. New traditions were created over the years such as the famous bed races and the challenge of waiters and waitresses on ice, without forgetting the Trotteurs: a horse race on the Rideau Canal ice rink like the one that kicked off the very first Winterlude in 1979.
From February 2 to 19 in Ottawa, Ontario.
