We have experienced a little bit of a cold snap lately where the temperatures drop below -10ºC but that does not deter us from getting out and taking part in a winter tradition…skating. This past week we experienced a visit from Elvis Stojko, Gladys Orozco-Stojko and Paige Lawrence to kick of the National Figure Skating week.

I also took a little walk downtown to take in the winter sites. Well despite the -22ºC temperatures I got a nice shot of the Sir John A train in Confederation Basin.

It was also a week of celebration of the birth of Robbie Burns and what better way to celebrate than to eat some haggis and drink some Scotch.
