Rideau Canal Skateway Opens Tomorrow!

The NCC is delighted to announce the start of the Rideau Canal Skateway’s 56th season, just in time to ring in the new year! On Wednesday, December 31, at 8 am, a 3.4-km section from the Somerset West access point to the Bank Street Bridge will open to skaters.

The cold weather in December provided ideal conditions for our operations. More sections of the Skateway should open as soon as ice conditions permit.
