This timely book takes a fond look at winters past, its place in Canadas story, and how it has shaped our sports history, while exploring what climate change means for our sense of Canadian identity, for our winter sports heritage and its related industries, and for our ability to hold winter sporting events beyond Vancouver in 2010.
Winter has shaped Canadas image and has been embraced with hearty enthusiasm from snowshoeing hikers in the nineteenth century, to future hockey stars on backyard rinks, to the indoor spectacle of figure-skating carnivals and curling bonspiels. Much of our literature, our songs, and our memories of youth reflect the bracing tonic that winter brings even as we curse the ice-laden roads on morning commutes or during weekend ski trips.
But alas, winters demise to a weak reminder of its former glory is a real possibility as climate change wreaks long-term havoc.
