Seasonal

The winter can be tough, especially for those who have never experienced it before. However, this magical season can definitely be one of the best parts of being in Canada. Paying attention to some important aspects, newcomers can have joy and happiness in the season.

The most important thing to be prepared for the winter is the mind. Being aware of what to expect is crucial. Spending time inside, with less physical contact with other people and experiencing less sunlight may be hard for some cultures. Particularly for those from tropical countries, where these types of issues are never a problem. So, increasing the level of vitamin D supplementation as well as creating strategies to keep in touch with people, making plans at home with friends and using artificial illuminations like happy lights could help a lot to maintain mental health and wellbeing.

Another fundamental consideration to be prepared for the winter is to make the house ready. Before moving to Canada, thinking about things like closing all the outside taps is unrealistic although it is pivotal here. Furthermore, testing the heating system is important to avoid the risk of it not working properly and requiring repairs when temperatures are already too low.

Finally, preparing the car is a critical point before the winter begins. It is necessary to change tires for snow. In addition, it is very important to put the correct fluids in the windshield wiper, use oil suitable for negative temperatures and use coolant. Believe it: your car will be even more useful in winter and leaving it prepared has a decisive impact on life’s quality in this season.

In conclusion, with proper care, winter can be the most magical time of the year. Spending the holiday season in Canada is like living in a film. It is a big opportunity to enjoy stunning scenery. Be comfortable looking at the snow falling outside, while watching Christmas movies, drinking hot chocolate in front of the fireplace. Take advantage of the weather to rest and sleep more. Even so, do some activities outside. Try new sports. Have fun sliding in the snow or skating on the ice.

Embrace the winter and have joy. Surely this can be the most wonderful time of the year.
