In a coldish part of Canada, I think I had 2.5hours of outside or PE time through elementary school

The same amount of PE, along with became optional through junior high school and high school.

In elementary school, recess/lunch were required to be spent outside (unless it's -30C or so)

You could spend up to 15min at a time inside to warm up, dry off your mittens, and maybe grab a hot chocolate but after that you were kicked back outside

Wait, 2.5 hours per day?? In the US I barely had 30 minutes outside / PE per day.
