Winter in Quebec

The winter season plays a big part of quebec culture. Although we have four seasons, more than half of the year is dedicated to the winter season.

Many rituals and activities were created to occupy and entertain people during the cold winter months.

Examples of winter activities that could be considered as «traditional»:

makingsnowman

sliding on toboggans

digging tunnels in the snow

bulding igloos and castles with snow

snowballfights

iceskating

icehockey
