Justin Trudeau And Family Take On The Cold For Quebec's Winter Carnival

Who could turn down maple taffy and a photo op with Bonhomme?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family didn't let the cold stop them from having some fun with Bonhomme.

Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau took the kids to Quebec City's Winter Carnival despite temperatures dropping below minus 20 degrees C.

Trudeau tweeted a few family shots from their outing, adding "A little cold won't stop us."

The family layered up — in Hadrien's case, in a Stegosaurus toque — and headed out to visit the Ice Palace, meet the seven-foot tall festival mascot Bonhomme Carnaval, and partake in the outdoor activities.

Carnaval de Quebec is an annual weeks-long festival to celebrate the beginning of Lent, filled with everything from winter games and snow sculptures to fresh maple taffy.

Today will be the last day of the celebration and Bonhomme will have to step down from his place of "undisputed master of the kingdom" and return the keys to the city to Mayor Régis Labeaume.

Take a look at the rest of the photos from the Trudeau's family outing here:
