Museum preserves Canada’s skiing heritage in Ottawa
A cramped black and white store near Parliament Hill houses the Canadian National Ski Museum, chronicling nearly a century of skiing in Canada. From early one pole pioneers to Olympic champions like Nancy Greene, Anne Heggtveit and Betsy Clifford, the collection spans Arctic exploration gear to gold medal skis, with Dr A E Porsild’s northern mapping trip featured among the displays.
