Hockey season is in full swing. It is a quiet, cheap month, with daylight ending before five after the clocks go back on the first Sunday. Rain or snow falls on about eleven days.
Remembrance Day on 11 November brings ceremonies at Old City Hall. The Christmas market in the Distillery District opens mid-November. The One of a Kind show fills Exhibition Place in the last week. For snow, the Christmas markets and Boxing Day, see December.
