While the cold and long winter of Canada, generally can not be considered as an attraction, but if one looks well, it is possible to find beauty in snow and ice also.

The Niagara river as well as some parts of Niagara Falls are frozen during the very cold Canada winter.

The below structures and beautiful landscapes were made by very fast winds, which brought water from lake Ontario and covered every thing in the area beside the lake with layers of ice.

One of the fun activities in winter is to observe the frozen waterfalls in a very cold sunny day. Dundas beside Hamilton, not far from Toronto, has several water falls such as Tews and Webster's Falls. You can see these falls, when they become frozen in winter, in the below photos.

Just a few kilometers far from the city of Mississauga (part of Great Toronto Area), one can find this beautiful conservation area as well as its beautiful falls and its water reservoir. Because of its rocky nature, some of its trails are a bit challenging. In the winter time, this conservation area is used for cross country skiing and winter picnic and because of its Hilton fall, which is partially frozen in winter, the area attracts many tourists.

While in the cold and long winter of Toronto, it is hard to do outdoor activities, it is fun to enjoy several festivals and events which are running around the city, specially Yorkville Icefest, which is happening in the late February. One of the most exciting programs in this event is the ice carving competition, which includes the exhibition of several ice carved statues.
