Winterlude takes place along the world’s largest skating rink, the Rideau Canal Skateway, and sites across the Capital. Fantastic ice carvings by artists from around the world fill Confederation Park in downtown Ottawa. A gigantic snow playground – Snowflake Kingdom – welcomes kids of all ages to Jacques Cartier Park in downtown Gatineau. In 2017, you can also see magnificent snow sculptures created for the National Snow Sculpture Rendezvous! The Winterlude mascots – the Ice Hogs family – are reputed to live in Snowflake Kingdom where they love to play in the snow and meet families having fun. They also like to visit the other official Winterlude sites including the Rideau Canal Skateway and Confederation Park. Winterlude has been celebrated in Ottawa and Gatineau for nearly 40 years (2017 marks its 39th year). Close to 600,000 people take part in Winterlude activities – most of which are free – each year.
