It feels like it took forever for winter to actually get here. For some, that may be a good thing. However for others (like us!), we couldn’t be more excited to finally have snow on the ground, because it can only mean one thing: awesome winter activities! The best way to enjoy winter is to spend time outside skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking or sliding. We are very fortunate in Albert County to have many places where we can enjoy winter activities. One such place is Fundy National Park, where we will host winter events with some of our partners. Most events described below are free, but you will be required to buy an entry permit to Fundy National Park or pick up your season pass.

Dog Day of Winter: On Saturday, Feb.15th, the Friends of Fundy, Moncton Dog Runners and Fundy National Park bring you the 2nd annual Harness Dog Sport event! Never heard of harness dog sports before? Or are you a seasoned expert with many races under your belt? We will have something for every experience level. Everyone is welcome to sign up for the Canicross Fun Run in the morning. Beginners are encouraged to come out to watch the demos and learn more at the information booths in the afternoon. There will be information on Skijoring, Bikejoring and Kick-sledding at the Chignecto Pavilion. Participants and observers can head to Holy Whale Brewery after for the Dog Day Social and home-made dog treats.

Drop into the Salt & Fir Centre at Fundy National Park from 11am-3pm for hot chocolate, coffee & treats. BYOM (bring your own mug) and learn about all the exciting things planned for the Fundy Region in 2020. Grab your toboggan and take a slide (or several) down the bowl then come back inside to hang out and warm up.
