6 Fun Things To Check Off Your Fall Bucket List Before The First Snowfall In Quebec

In the blink of an eye, fall will be just a memory.
Reporter

Fall may be one of the most loved and picturesque seasons of the year but it also somehow always seems to be the shortest. After fall comes our dreaded winter — and I don't know about you but I am personally not the biggest lover of our polar cold. That is why I like to explore all the things to do in Quebec in fall before the snow covers everything with an icy sheet.

Fall in this provine is essentially just a countdown to winter.

So it takes some extra motivation to take advantage our its short-lived splendour. 

Hopefully this list helps.
