Dos

• Layer Properly: Use the three-layer method to retain heat and stay dry!
• Invest in Quality: Prioritise wearing good winter jackets, waterproof boots, and additional items.
• Buy Accessories: Protect hands, feet, head, and neck with necessary winter accessories.
• Stay Dry! Ensure that your outer layer is waterproof to avoid getting wet.
• Wear Reflective Clothing: Reflective clothes keep one visible even during foggy, low-light conditions and can be significantly helpful during winter emergencies.

Don’ts

• Don’t Wear Cotton: Cotton retains moisture and is prone to getting wet quickly, making one feel colder and risking frostbite.
• Don’t Skip Checking the Weather: Before you head out, it’s a good idea to check the Canada weather forecast so you can be ready for unexpected snowstorms or a sudden chill in the air.
• Don’t Use Non-Insulated Boots: Shoes, plastic boots or rubber boots won’t provide warmth for your feet.
• Don’t Wear Non-Canadian Winter Clothes:  It’s best to steer clear of winter clothing from other countries, as they might not provide the warmth needed for the harsh Canadian winters.
