Despite the Rideau Canal Skateway being closed and temperatures fluctuating, large crowds still made their way to Winterlude for its second weekend.
The recent swings between frigid cold and unseasonable warmth have been challenging for the annual Winterlude festival.
Despite that, Ottawa residents and tourists were out for the festival's second weekend in large numbers to celebrate the season. Brault said there were some tough decisions early on because of the cold, but this weekend, with its more comfortable temperatures brought out the crowds. "It’s a unique art. It’s not that easy to carve something on the ice and that detailing about the sculptures, that’s amazing," said Ottawa resident Raj Ramani."It's my first time. I’m here with my son and his girlfriend who came from Brazil," said Montreal resident Bonnie Linder.
