Entire Rideau Canal Skateway to open Thursday

The entire 7.8-kilometre Rideau Canal Skateway will open at 8 a.m. Thursday, according to the National Capital Commission.
After reopening the skateway from Somerset Street to Hartwells Locks Tuesday, the remaining stretch of the canal, which goes up to Rideau Street, will be available for skating. 
The skateway opened Jan. 5, but closures began Jan. 10 due to the rising temperature, which was followed by heavy snowfall.
