Greetings from snowy Saskatchewan, a province in western Canada.
Saskatchewan is a landlocked province with large distances to moderating bodies of waters. As a result, its climate is extremely continental, rendering severe winters throughout the province. In winter, temperatures below −45 °C (−49 °F) are possible even in the south during extreme cold snaps. - in: wikipedia

Yes, it’s cold in Saskatchewan in wintertime. But locals know how to have fun and enjoy the snow and ice. One of the best outdoor activities in wintertime is dogsledding.
Before cars, snowmobiles, and even horses, dog sledding was one of the primary ways for getting around Canada during the winter months. It was an especially important mode of transportation for the people of the northern territories, who continue to respect huskie dogs deeply.
Today, dog sledding is mostly a recreational activity rather than necessary transportation, but it’s an amazing and fun way to experience Canada’s stunning landscape and part of its past.
Dog-sledding tours are available in many provinces and territories, and tours run from a couple of hours to a few days.
Many of the dogs are treated very well, but be sure to do your own research when selecting a tour to ensure that you are using one that treats their animals ethically and humanely. - in: https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/canada/articles/how-and-where-to-go-dog-sledding-in-canada/
