Construction of the Snowflake Kingdom for Winterlude

Construction of the Snowflake Kingdom for Winterlude at Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau.

Winterlude was first held in 1979 and has since become an international event that draws thousands of visitors. Jacques-Cartier Park, which is among the official Winterlude sites, provides family fun like hosted activities, giant games, musical shows, and so on. The park’s main attractions are the giant playground, tube slides and huge sculptures, all made of snow.

The supplier will be responsible for building and maintaining a giant playground made of snow at Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau. The Contractor must use artificially made snow to build snow structures that will allow for operation of 15 tube sliding corridors. On average, each corridor is two (2) meters (imperial system: 6.6’) wide and its length depends on structure design, the location at the site and the final plan, which is produced every fall by Canadian Heritage.
