Winterlude
Over three weekends each February (this coming February 1–17, 2008) Canada's capital city of Ottawa is transformed into a winter wonderland. Don your parka and tuque (a winter hat) and head for Snowflake Kingdom, a park that hosts the continent's largest snow playground, complete with 30 giant snow slides, and be captivated by ice-carving contests and magnificent ice exhibits. You can also lace up your skates or grab a sled for a magical glide along the frozen Rideau Canal; skating along this 7.8km icy piste is arguably the festival's singular highlight.
