The #RideauCanal in #Ottawa will not open for skating this winter. “The NCC first dispatched a team of workers armed with brooms and shovels to clear a short section of the frozen waterway for skating in 1971. This year is the first time the skateway hasn't opened since then.” #ClimateChangeIsReal https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/rideau-canal-skateway-2023-season-closed-1.6738557

ICE UPDATE 🧊 | We won’t be able to open the #RideauCanal Skateway this winter. Despite our best efforts, the weather got the best of us for the first time in our history. 🥲
You’re disappointed. We’re disappointed. Bruce is disappointed. | #OttNews

The canal not being open for skating has created a chip dilemma!
One of my top five chip spots is ON the canal!

During a state visit to Ottawa on Feb. 24, 1995, President BIll Clinton takes time in the morning to go for a jog on a chilly morning, while First Lady Hillary Clinton has a skate on the Rideau Canal.
The visit only lasted 30 hours
