It's over for another year.

The National Capital Commission says, with more warm weather ahead, there's not much of a chance the Rideau Canal Skateway will recover, so they're shutting it down for the season.

They first closed the canal last Saturday, but were hoping for a cooling trend to save the ice surface.

The world's largest skateway opened in mid January.

There were 25 skating days this season.
