Mark your calendars in February
for the Jack Frost Children's WinterFest

Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada 2012 is coming to Prince Edward Island this February

Canadian hockey fans can mark February 2012 in their calendars, as this year Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada will be hosted right here in Prince Edward Island. Islanders have a very strong culture of involvement in hockey, whether it is in the excitement and thrills of watching our young boys and girls participate in local arenas, or watching our very own home grown talent as they compete on the national and international stage. Hosting Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada on Prince Edward Island will allow us to celebrate this culture and show our support for the game in true Island fashion.

Brookvale Alpine Hill Hibernate on PEI? No way!

A fresh blanket of sparkling snow makes Prince Edward Island anything but sleepy. Winter on the Island means lots of outdoor activities, cozy places to stay and fun things to do. In fact, you can criss-cross the Island during any month of the winter and find lots going on inside and out – Winter Carnivals, PEI Presents, art exhibits, bonspiels, hockey tournaments, community events, and more.

Winter Activity Park. You'll be bright eyed and rosy cheeked after outdoor winter fun, everything from snowmobiling and snowshoeing to skating, curling, and skiing. Want to warm up in style? Enjoy dinner at a cozy inn or by the fire in a winterized cottage. There's no such thing as hibernating on PEI; there's just too much to do!

Parks Canada is offering a variety of opportunities for you and your family to enjoy at Prince Edward Island National Park this winter! Skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, skating, walking and simply enjoying the beauty of the winter display can be enjoyed throughout the National Park on various trail systems.

If your Island winter getaway includes the whole family, there's something here to suit everyone's appetite for adventure in our provincial and national parks.

Snowmobiling

If your quest is for an unmatched snowmobiling adventure then look no further. The Island has almost 1,000 kilometres of trails that meander through virtually every picture perfect corner of the province. Perhaps even more importantly, these trails will take you to snow-covered fields and tranquil country roads that challenge even the most experienced sledders.
