Canadian Sport Series Postcard
Collection Pointe-à-Callière, Christian Paquin fonds, 2013.30.20.276
A man is tossed into the air by his laughing companions on a winter day.
The iconic “bounce” reproduced on this postcard— made famous in 1886 by the Notman & Son studio—depicts a festive scene at the Montréal Snowshoe Club.
Toques, arrow sashes, high socks: at the turn of the 20th century, snowshoe clubs embodied a true Canadian winter identity—a way of being together, alive, outdoors!
Like these snowshoers, the Museum brings people together through shared experiences — free activities, education, and community. Your donation keeps that mission alive.
