For the second year in a row, the city presents Hello Winter – six weeks of fun, engaging and safe activities to help residents and visitors enjoy Barrie’s winter, Feb. 5 to March 20.

Hello Winter takes place in lieu of Winterfest – a Barrie tradition and one of Ontario’s premier winter festivals. Hello Winter 2022 includes some popular programming from Winterfest, re-imagined.

“This year, Hello Winter’s theme focuses on light, to brighten the cold season and inspire a sense of hope,” says Steve Lee-Young, manager of recreation programs. “By spreading the event out over February and March and re-creating classic Winterfest favourites, we are able to safely offer experiences that celebrate what winter has to offer in our city.”

Additional Hello Winter activity highlights include:

Ice sculptures celebrating winter’s natural beauty, displayed at Meridian Place and Heritage Park Feb. 5 and 6;
A skating party with a live DJ and light show at Circle at the Centre on the evening of Feb. 11;
An enchanted winter trail through Sunnidale Park from Feb. 5 to 13;
An online ‘Community Sculpture Challenge’, where residents are invited to build creative creations and submit pictures to an online map, opening Feb. 18;
A Family Day adventure featuring a variety of outdoor activities at the Barrie Community Sports Complex on February 20.

Choose a continuous movement that keeps you moving quickly but efficiently. If you find yourself having to stop before the minute is over, you may need to adjust your pace. This could include jumping jacks, high knees, dance, butt kicks, step ups, running if you have a treadmill or biking if you have a stationary bike. You could also choose to do these workouts outside and run up and down stairs, do sprints, etc.
