The Toques are coming! The Toques are coming!
The Water Haller – January 2021 The Toques are coming! The Toques are coming! The CWWA toque has become an iconic tradition of its own. We introduced the first toques as a simple piece of swag to support our ‘apres ski’ theme for the national conference...
