Warm weather and accumulated freezing rain means that the #Rideau Canal in #Ottawa is closed for #skating having only been open for four days so far and even then only 1.95 km open and never rated above "poor".
With out regular #skating rink closed for a week for lighting work, @Kathryn Barr and I went down and skated on the Rink of Dreams instead at City Hall.
@Kathryn Barr and I were downtown #Ottawa today and got in an hour's #skate on the Rink of Dreams. That was the time to be that as the rink was almost deserted!
A short #video I shot of #iceskating today. With many parents on holiday there were a lot of tots who can't really skate well on the rink which makes for some chaos.
