Daniel walks in the studio.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, jeans, a gray TVO Kids T-shirt with burgundy rims and a burnt orange hoodie.

He says WELCOME BACK TO
TVOK NEWS.
NOW, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PART
ABOUT WINTER?
FOR ME, IT'S DEFINITELY
THE SNOW.
THE MORE,
THE BETTER!
THERE'S SO MUCH
I LIKE TO DO IN THE SNOW.
TOBOGGAN, SNOWSHOE,
I LIKE TO GET OUT THERE
WITH MY FRIENDS AND MAKE
SNOW ANGELS AND BUILD FORTS.
SO MUCH FUN!

On a screen behind him appears a picture of people skating at an outdoor ice rink with a caption that reads "Winter fun."

Daniel says IF YOU ARE A SNOW PERSON
LIKE ME,
YOU WOULD LOVE THE
QUEBEC WINTER CARNIVAL,
CARNAVALE DE QUÉBEC.
IT'S ONE OF THE LARGEST WINTER
FESTIVALS IN THE WORLD.
NOW, I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY
BEEN TO THE CARNIVAL,
BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO GO.
MAYBE THIS YEAR
WILL BE MY LUCKY YEAR.
IT STARTS THIS FRIDAY,
FEBRUARY THE 8TH,
AND GOES UNTIL SUNDAY,
FEBRUARY THE 17TH.
THE FIRST CARNIVAL
WAS 125 YEARS AGO,
IN 1894.
HERE'S A PICTURE!
NOW, IT WASN'T UNTIL 1955
THAT THE FESTIVAL BECAME
AN ANNUAL EVENT,
CELEBRATED EVERY YEAR.
THE MASCOT OF THE FESTIVAL
IS BONHOMME.
HE LOOKS LIKE A GIANT
SNOWMAN.
HE'S THE KING OF THE
FESTIVITIES,
AND HIS JOB IS TO BRING JOY
OF THE WINTER TO EVERYONE.
EVERY YEAR,
THE MAYOR OF QUEBEC CITY
GIVES BONHOMME
THE KEYS TO THE CITY,
WHICH CONFIRMS HIM AS THE
AMBASSADOR TO THE CARNIVAL.
SO COOL!
THERE'S LOTS TO SEE AND DO.
THERE'S A DAYTIME
AND NIGHTTIME PARADE,
CANOE RACING ON THE FROZEN
ST. LAWRENCE RIVER,
THERE'S LIVE MUSIC,
AND LOTS OF GREAT FOOD TO TRY.
AND, OF COURSE, YOU HAVE TO GO
SEE BONHOMME'S ICE PALACE.
SO, IF YOU CAN,
GO CHECK IT OUT.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
I'M HOPING FOR MORE SNOW.
I WANNA MAKE MY OWN
BONHOMME DE NEIGE.
STAY TUNED FOR
OUR FEATURE STORY,
COMING UP NEXT.
