GREEN LIVING: Eco-friendly winter activities
As the hustle and bustle of the holidays comes to an end and the cold begins to set in, it’s tempting to stay indoors and wait out the remainder of the winter season. Shorter, colder days can make it difficult to get out and make the most of the season, and in some people this time of year can even trigger Seasonal Affective Disorder .
Hiking and Snowshoeing A great way to get out and get active this winter is to go for a hike. Head out to your favourite trails and experience the beauty in their winter transformation. Some wildlife that you are bound to see along the trails are birds. Patience is a virtue, and what better way to teach a child this valuable lesson than through birdwatching? Join a bird count or feeder watch this year and start exploring. You can also spend an afternoon outdoors geocaching. Follow this link to learn more.
Sky Gazing On a cool winter night, you may be able to see the northern lights. Although they can be seen year-round, the best time to view aurora borealis is in the winter, and there are apps available that help forecast them. The City also offers free indoor skating at certain arenas. Visit Queen’s Athletic Field, Kivi Park or Bell Park to glide along some amazing skate paths. Kivi Park also offers cross country ski trails and fat biking. You can also explore some cross-country trails or hit the slopes at Adanac or Lively Ski Hill.
