Answer 1

Answer:

Montrealer here!

I'm not familiar with the cajun carnaval, but I do know stuff about the winter carnaval here in Quebec.

To start, there is a character which represents the carnaval, Bonhomme Carnaval. He's a snowman wearing a sash (traditional element worn by francophone settlers). Oh, and he also has a red bonnet (also worn by the francophone settlers).

A lot of winter sports and competitions happen during the carnaval (you can say that it's cultural since the territory gets snow). E.g. canoe racing, ballon-balais, hockey (of course!), ski, etc...

Ice sculptures are also made (a few years ago they even made an ice hotel). *There is also an ice palace [for the Carnaval snowman].

Although maple syrup is harvested in spring, some people buy it in cans and do some mapple taffy on snow.

*Not to forget that there is a parade (it's a carnaval) and that [due to the presence of the catholic religion in Quebec] the carnaval is linked to Mardi Gras.
