The Rideau Canal Skateway opened last week.
The ”World’s Largest Skating Rink” is celebrating its forth decade of operation this season.
On Wednesday, Samantha and I hit the ice on the 4.3 km section in service between Bank Street Bridge and Mackenzie King Bridge.
Here are some photos of our evening.
