Pahh. In Canada, you should ALWAYS have your skates. As for woolen 
underwear, you don't need that until mid-December. What are you, some 
southern sissy? Now Mukluks are just a good fashion statement.

And don't forget, bring some monopoly money. There is a better than 
even chance that it will be the right colour, and might (on any given 
day) be worth more than the Canadian $ - which is great for US 
tourists.

August is summer, and I'm sure august is when most people book 
holidays with family (esp if they have kids). Late September (3rd 
weekend?) is still reasonable fall weather (no snow if this year is a 
guide). I know I'm tied up in the Softball team I captain in August, 
as well as the Hope Beach Volleyball tournament, etc. etc. Plus all 
the kids will be getting ready for back to school. So I'm thinking 
late September...  Besides....its an extra month to get organized...
