Description:
|
Voyageurs (French fur traders who plied their trade throughout this region) rendezvoused at “the forks” each year for a few days of revelry, and this massive event commemorates their efforts to create a permanent settlement. Western Canada’s largest winter event includes everything from snow sculptures, ice climbing, music, dance, games, a fun run, a formal ball, and tons of food (French, of course). There are numerous competitions, too, testing the mettle of modern-day would-be voyageurs. Most events are at Fort Gibraltar. The best way to enjoy the festivities is to purchase a button which allows you daily admission to the grounds and most events. |
