The Big Shiver
Although I stayed away from larger cities, I couldn’t resist Thunder Bay and its Big Shiver, an annual event during February’s Northern Lights Winter Festival. About 50 people took the plunge into the McIntyre River of northwestern Ontario, whose waters registered 33°F (.5 °C). The gathering captured my impression of Canada’s sense of humor and spirit and the creativity of rural people as they make their own fun. | |
