Cold Won't Stop Kilt Skates in 3 Cities

How cold was it? It was so cold, shadows froze to the sidewalks. God had to jump-start the northern lights. Teenagers zipped up their jackets. (Now, that’s cold!) But on the weekend of January 26-27, the kilt skates went on in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto!

In fact, many are thrawn enough to bare their knees to subarctic temperatures.

Old friends met.

New friends were made.

There was cake, shortbread and hot chocolate for everyone.

And fun for the whole family.
