With the kids out of school, and most people off work, there are plenty of fun things to do if you’re staying close to home during the holidays.
With a lack of snow, cross-country skiing and tobogganing may not be in the cards, but Environment Canada predicts a few centimetres of the fresh stuff by Christmas.
In the event there is enough snow to make tobogganing feasible, the city has outlined some hills you can check out:
- Civic Park, 901 Kimberley Avenue
- Victoria Jason Park (Crocus Park), 255 Redonda Street
- Harbour View Recreation Complex, 1867 Springfield Road
- Westview Park, 1 Midland Street
Winter Slides (Artificial snow has been brought in at some locations):
- Assiniboine Park, 2355 Corydon Avenue (1 Slide open for holidays)
