NCC crews have started flooding the Rideau Canal to build ice for the Skateway's opening. While cold temperatures helped, forecasted warmth poses a challenge for the world's largest skating rink.
The National Capital Commission has started flooding operations on the Rideau Canal Skateway. Crews worked on the ice Sunday, but no opening date is set for the world's largest skating rink.
The Rideau Canal Skateway is closed with a red flag warning. Authorities urge the public to stay off the unsafe ice surface despite cold temperatures.
