Winter Sports in Canada 



Canada can generally be sure of real Christmas weather to celebrate the holiday in the real Cana- 

 dian way. Those who deprecate Canada's climate and its attendant ice and snow can have no con- 

 ception of the fascination of a snowshoe tramp, the keen enjoyment of skating, the thrills of taking a 

 hill on skiis, or the breath-arresting shoot down a toboggan slide. For diversity of winter pleasures 

 Canada stands unrivalled a playground from coast to coast a succession of Switzerlands.
