Go for it -- start sharing your Canadian spirit by Catherine O'Hara Metroland West Media 7 | Wednesday, January 22, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com We are Canadian. Winter is our season. It's what defines us -- and our athletes. From skiing to snowboarding, curling to ice hockey, ski jumping to freestyle skating, Team Canada's athletes have proven a force to be reckoned with on the international stage, owning the podium in a multitude of events at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. As our athletes limber up for what we hope will be gold-medal performances at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, we're calling on readers to help salute them. We encourage you to take part in our We Love Winter campaign. Participating is super easy: simply show us how much you love winter by submitting photos of yourself or your family taking part in winter sports and outdoor activities. Whether you're downhill or cross-country skiing, playing hockey on a pond or in the rink, From left, Paige Hagan, 10, with a face full of snow while sledding in Burlington.
