Winter Souvenirs
 
 

The year 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. Despite the global situation, which remains uncertain, one thing is for sure: winter has arrived! Already, a significant amount of snow has accumulated in our regions, and it is necessary to dress warmly before setting foot outside. You may not be able to visit us this winter, but you can certainly start dreaming about your next trip! To inspire you, we present you with a photo album for each of our regions below.

Whitecoat Observation
 

Every winter, from late February to early March, thousands of harp seals give birth on the ice surrounding the Îles de la Madeleine in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Excursions to observe these animals and their pups (called whitecoats) are available. Find out all about this species here.
