A little bit of French Canadian Culture in Northern Alberta!


Notice the French on the sign above. I thought I was in an all English speaking area to be greatly surprised when we went this small town winter carnival just 45 minutes away.

There were even french bands playing there. This was a sweet Jazz band that covered some English and French bands.

Who ever thought that maple syrup could taste so good! It's a common french canadian tradition to boil down maple syrup then pour it onto snow and you create a maple toffee.

They had team competitions from log sawing to this parcour.


There was plenty of games even some as crazy as this pillow fight.

More maple toffee...

Curling anyone???

The extreme parcour...


This was the best ice sculpture. A canoe sinking into the rocky waters....(A flashback of the explorers who made there way up to northern Alberta.)
