SnowshoeingDepending on the trail conditions, snowshoeing can be an exciting way to enjoy the winter! The best time to go is after a big dump of snow makes walking difficult. Strap on your snowshoes or rent some at Expedition Shoppe in the village of Wakefield. In this video, residents joined local politicians and trail builders to celebrate the Trans Canada Trail's "Blahs to Ahhs" winter campaign to get outside and beat the winter blues.
