Hello to all the Canadian greenfelters.  I would like some advice please.  I am coming to Canada next Canadian winter, and as I am from a tropical climate in Australia, I have no clue about cold weather gear.  I understand layering, but am not sure about pants and footwear.  Can you give advice on brands, what layers to buy and footwear that would be good for when I visit.  I will be in Toronto and Peterborough.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - Jabba.

    Hi there jabba as being from Nova Scotia winters can be fairly cold . That's why I prefer a good pair of lined bluejeans and insulated boots

    Greetings Jabba! So you are coming to Ontario. I would advise the following..... Warm and dry footwear, long warm pants, warm coat, scarf, warm mittens or gloves  headwear like a touque, or warm hat. Also a tolerance to cold weather, like wind and snow.   Good luck and we will welcome you. When you arrive let us know as this is from Jimbob and I live about one hour north of Toronto.

    Wow!  Hey Jabba. Greenfelters convention. What a concept. Huge undertaking. Can you imagine people from all over the world, gathering together. Trying to arrange a location , hotel accomadation  I think the cost for each individual would be prohibitive. travel, etc. etc. What an idea though. Keep in touch and have a nice weekend. It is a long weekend for us In Canada called Victoria Day Weekend. Fireworks etc. Party time..Backyard B.B.Q.  The works...take care....regards   jimbob 

    One question...Are you Mr. or Mrs. or Miss?

    Unconventional request of would-be Green Felt conventioneers? 


    Would an octogenarian, unitarian, aquarian, editorially proficient Ms. be welcome? Grew up across the St. Clair River from Canada, recall the dire need for hot—er, warm—pants. And woollen babushkas for aunts and uncles alike. Over the earmuffs, under the derby or bonnet.

    Hope your Victoria Weekend is splendid.

    Yep, I think a full greenfelters convention might be a hard task, but I guess if some of us are in the same general vicinity we could do a mini version.  That would be Miss, hard to tell by the username (oh and I'm not as big as Jabba the Hutt either!)  How about you - Mr Mrs or Miss?  Have a good long weekend.
