Ottawa’s Rideau Canal Skateway remains closed because of warm weather
Nicholas Leroy and his family travelled to Ottawa from France this week hoping to strap on some skates and glide their way along the world’s largest outdoor skating rink.Leroy, his wife and their two daughters were only able to look at the canal from afar because Ottawa’s winter is not co-operating.
Leroy said he and his family planned their trip in February specifically because they knew that the ice had been opening later in recent years. While the temperatures are forecast to drop to more normal levels by the middle of next week, there are still fears the canal may not be open at all this year.
