If you've been along Calgary's Bow River by night lately and wondered if your eyes decieved you, rest assured — ice canoeing (by night) is a real thing.

It was - 16 C Saturday morning but with a wind chill, it felt more like - 25 C and all you could see on the Bow River was steam rising and a few Canada geese. The sole sign of life on the pathway near Fort Calgary was an occasional jogger, that is until, Calgary’s ice canoe team showed up.
