This week, Kate talks about winter activities for kids 120 years ago in the Haliburton Highlands - especialy that iconic winter activity of ice skating. Plus, Paul has the story of Sable Island - a lonely, desolate sandbar of an island in the Atlantic Ocean over 300 km from land. It has a fascinating history going back to the 1500's including a failed colony of convict settlers, an estimated 350 shipwrecks, and the famous Sable Island wild horses. Today it's a tourist destination and nature reserve.
