Le Carnaval de Colonel Macleod

by Riley Kirwan - Colonel Macleod School, Calgary AB Feb 12, 2010

A French carnival - or "carnival" in French - is held every year at Colonel Macleod School in Calgary.

Sled races, snow shoeing, bingo, obstacle courses, ice castles, and lots and lots of cotton candy are just a few things that students can enjoy at the event! One of my favourites is something called the sugar shack, where you can get taffy that is made out of maple sap, and you roll it in snow to eat - using clean snow of course! It's a common treat to eat in Quebec and it is so good!

I have to say, the carnaval keeps getting better every year!

The Carnival was ok this

The Carnival was okay this year. But that was only because my T.A stayed downstairs in the Cafeteria all morning, practically. But the performances were good. And I loved the Sugar Shack, even though it made my hands sticky!
