Snow Day: Best Winter Activities

As the cold weather is upon us, it's very tempting to just want to stay inside and do nothing. 

Here are some cold weather activities to do with friends or alone:

• Skating

  • esplanade tranquille (pay to rent skates, but free otherwise)

  • Beaver lake

  • Lowerfield

  • Westmount park

• Study at a cafe with a warm drink and sweet treat 

  • Onna Café

  • Café Olimpico

  • SoLit Café

  • Cafe Aunja

• Cook warm foods

  • Pizza

  • ramen

  • pasta

  • Stir fry

• Head to the gym

  • walk or run on a treadmill or the track

  • lift some weights

  • book a pod (e.g. basketball)

  • Go swimming

  
  

• Have a crafts night 

  • painting (paint by numbers for beginners)

  • Make bracelets

  • Knit

  
  

• Go skiing!

  • downhill skiing with SSMUSki or rent/drive a car to the hills yourself

  • Cross country ski

Even with the colder weather, there are still many activities inside or outdoors that you can do. Winter is one of my favourite seasons and I hope you all spend this season making many great memories!
