Winter is coming to its end, so it's time to get out there and enjoy the season that often defines our fine city of Winterpeg. Here are a whole slate of activities that are available to you and the rest of your family for free this weekend including all the Arctic Glacier Winter Park programming:
1. Sleigh rides
Sunday
1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Outside The Forks Market
Thanks to Duran Equipment, you can see The Forks by horse-drawn carriage. Hop on, and don't forget your camera because the horses are adorable and The Forks full of people on a Sunday in winter is a pretty magical sight.
2. Bannock making & storytelling
Sunday
1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Teepee in Busker's Lookout
Join Barbara and Clarence Nepinak in the teepee to hear the stories of the land passed down through generations of Indigenous peoples while making a traditional food staple – bannock – plus it's super delicious.
3. Tobogganing
All the time
Festival Field
4. Skating
All the time
The Canopy Rink, On-land trails, Red River Mutual Trail
This is a Forks staple, and if you haven't been skating yet, your time is running out, friend! Bring your own or rent a pair from Iceland Skate Rentals in The Market and skate a trail that has already broken a record this year – the longest Red River Mutual Trail we've ever had at 10km – and is about to break another – if the trail can stay open until February 28, it will be the longest on record at 69 days open!
5. Soul on Ice
Sunday
1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Canopy Rink
Get your soul on under The Canopy for a perfect mix of dancing and skating. Sure, you may not be as elegant as Tessa and Scott from Team Canada's figure skating team, but hey, who really is? Bounce and glide to your favourite tunes with DJ Co-op and DJ Hunnicut.
6. Ice Castles
