This mural will be unveiled in Old Strathcona on Canada Day 2017. For $15 you can also purchase a print of the finished mural at the end of the festival available at Paint Spot. 

Make your own Ice Sculptures

Learn to be your own L’il Chippers and make some small ice sculptures in the Igloo located at the Agrium Kids Zone. 

Experience some history

Learn about the history of the fur trade in Canada, black powder firearms, and historic reenactment with the Edmonton House Brigade, take in the Ordinary People…Extraordinary Stories, learn about the Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site and more! 

This is just a fraction of activities that you can experience at Ice on Whyte this year.
