NCC Rideau Canal Skateway - Ice condition
Rideau Canal Skateway - Ice condition by section
Each winter, the NCC transforms the historic Rideau Canal into the world’s largest skating rink. The Rideau Canal Skateway winds its way through the heart of the National Capital over a total length of 7.8 km. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Rideau Canal in winter becomes a treasure that is the pride of the National Capital and a signature destination.
The skating season typically runs from January to early March, but it is weather-dependent. When open, the Skateway is free and accessible 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
When the Skateway is open, ice conditions are monitored by section twice daily, at approximately 8 am and 4 pm.
