After a quick January thaw, followed by a flash freeze, the National Capital Commission says skaters will be back on the Rideau Canal soon.
A section of the Canal between Somerset and the Hartwells Locks will open at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday.
The NCC is reminding you to be patient and remain off the ice until the skateway reopens.
GOOD NEWS! We're reopening the Skateway tomorrow morning (January 16) at 8am, between Somerset & Hartwell’s. Our crew has been working hard last night and will continue overnight. Please do not venture on the ice just yet. pic.twitter.com/X2TBHSLo0J
