By Carmen Kaethler, Macaroni Kid Winnipeg December 1, 2020

What's more fun than brainstorming all the fun things you could possibly do this winter and making a Winter Bucket List?  Winter may last awhile in Winnipeg but with all the snow we get, we have an endless supply of ideas to enjoy it outside and great activities indoors on those days that the Windchill gets to bad. Even if you don't get them all checked off by the end of winter, you'll still have a plan and avoid missing your "must-do" items!    Also you will get a BONUS Holiday Bucket List that you can make sure you complete while the kids are off for Winter break!
