Layers is the name of the game and especially in winter we want to choose clothing that wicks moisture, dries fast, insulates our bodies and is waterproof and breathable.

The 3 Basic Layers: The base layer – the layer next to your skin. Avoid cotton – synthetic and merino wool fabrics work best. They dry quickly. When it’s really cold, it’s common to wear 2 base layers: a lightweight or middle weight layer, then a thicker heavyweight layer. The middle layer – keeps you warm! Fleece or microfleece shirts/pants, and jacket (a goose down jacket or similar).

The outer layer – the ―shell‖. This is your water- and windproof layer and is breathable. Think Gore-Tex, or other polyurethane-coated fabrics with vents (core/underarm) that help release heat. Remember snow pants as well! There is no need to go with expensive gear – check out the local thrift shops too!

Children will stay indoors or attend an indoor field trip when the weather conditions are:

Tornado watch / warning – spotting of green sky and funnel clouds
An outside temperature of -20 ºCelsius and or temperature with a wind chill to make it -20 ºCelsius
Heavy rain or snowfall
High and or wind gusting over 29 km per hour
