Label TextSnowshoeing and tobogganing clubs began to spring up across Canada from the 1860s. By the late 1800s, Londoners had embraced the sports. Clubs formed in the city, with members paying for annual access to sliding areas in the city. At various times, London boasted slides at Wolseley Barracks, Western University, as well as two others on the Thames River.
