Meet Tom Longboat

MacLeod, Elizabeth

After the peak of his running career, Tom volunteered for military service in World War I. He survived, and faced further challenges upon his return. But Tom Longboat continued to live his life on his own terms, and his legacy as Canada's foremost distance runner continues to be recognized to this day.

Frost


Frost occurs when the outside temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius, the freezing point of water. When this happens, the moisture in the air turns into small ice crystals that can stick to surfaces, creating frost.
