Now in it’s 45th year, Winterlude, the popular winter festival, returns with in-person activities for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Larry MacFarlane and his team continue to work away at ice blocks near the National War Memorial, turning ice into art.
It's just one of the many ice sculptures you'll see at this year's Winterlude Festival, now in its 45th year. The popular winter festival returns with in-person activities for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s wonderful, I’ve been coming here for many years,” said MacFarlane, “I missed it last year because it was virtual. It wasn’t the same as seeing all the guys, all the competitors.”
“Winterlude is an opportunity for visitors and people in the region to experience the joys of a Canadian winter,” said Canadian Heritage Capital Celebrations Director Melanie Brault.
