Polar Bear Club lets students play outside despite cold weather
For schoolchildren, frigid temperatures mean indoor recess.
But for kids in Saskatchewan, that can mean weeks without going outside for breaks during the day.
At Ecole Vickers School in Prince Albert, students are kept inside for recess if temperatures dip below -30 Celsius.
“It’s kind of that feeling of going a little bit stir crazy,” Principal Jennie Green told paNOW. “I think people’s tempers get short, and you get frustrated easier. You’re not leaving your classroom, and that artificial light.”
