Canal re-opens to skaters on first weekend of Winterlude

By Jason White

An iconic Winterlude activity will go ahead this weekend, as the NCC has re-opened nearly six kilometres of the Rideau Canal Skateway.

The canal is open to skaters between Waverly Street and Bank Street, as well as between Bronson Avenue and Hartwells Locks.

The two sections of canal reopened as of 8 a.m., Friday. The Skateway had been closed since late last Saturday, due to weather conditions.

Winterlude runs from Friday, January 31 to Family Day, Monday, February 17.
