Embrace the cold and enjoy a winter adventure!
Picture yourself gliding across snow-covered trails, pulled by a team of high-energy sled dogs. Dogsledding was once a necessary means of transportation in the winter for the Indigenous peoples of Canada. Today, it is a recreational activity and a memorable winter experience to be had in our Great White North. The second coin in our Celebrating Canadian Fun and Festivities offers an antidote to the winter blues during Canada’s coldest month: adventure! The colourful reverse invites you to step into the frozen landscape, where a team of sled dogs kicks up powdery snow while rushing by.
Experience the rush of dogsledding with this beautiful coin!
