Winterlude is on now!

Button up your winter coat, lace up your skates and grab your family and friends. Winterlude is back in the Nation's Capital!

Originally created in 1979 to celebrate Canada's unique northern climate and culture, this winter festival is now in its 40th year. Whether you enjoy the 7.8 kilometre skate on the world's largest skating rink or taking in the ice carving competitions, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

CBC Ottawa will be joining in on the wintry fun and here's where you can find us:
