MAGICAL NIGHT PARADES

THE CARNIVAL’S DOG SLEDDING RACE: NEW FORMAT
There are now six dogs per team, for extra speed and to increase the thrills for the thousands
of spectators who line the race course on its main axes, the length of St-Louis Street, Grande Allée, or on the
Plains of Abraham. The Québec Winter Carnival is now part of the circuit for the Québec Dog Sledding Club (CACQ) which has a total of 10 races per year. Saturday January 28th, 2012
Grande Allée et rue St-Louis
CMQ CANOE RACE: QUALIFYING ROUND ON GRANDE ALLÉE
The ice canoe was once an essential part of the lives of the islanders and coastal dwellers of the St. Lawrence
Seaway during winter. Today, we have turned this ancient way of life into a competitive activity, an extreme
sport. Friday February 3 from 7 p.m. The Final will take place in the icy waters of the mighty St. Lawrence River from 1:30 p.m. on Sunday February 5.
