Despite reports from the N.C.C. over the last couple of days, the Rideau Canal Skateway is open today for skating.
The National Capital Commission announced this morning around 8:00am that all 7.8 kilometres of the Rideau Canal Skateway is open.
The N.C.C. said on Friday that the skateway would close Saturday at 11:00pm due to warm temperatures and rain in the forecast, but have now given the all clear to hit the ice once again.
