A Canadian friend of mine from my time in Taiwan (yep, I’m lookin’ at you, Rob Junior*), once told me he grew up way far north in Saskatchewan.
How far north?
“Well,” Rob said, “my home town is about a 12 hour drive north of Regina**. Well, actually about eight hours — if you’re going in the winter you can drive across the lakes and that saves you some time.”
Drive across the lakes, I thought?
Since then, I’ve been intrigued by the idea. Curious about the practice? Here’s everything you ever wanted to know about ice driving in Canada.

[**Yes, Regina rhymes with what you think it rhymes with.]
