Rideau Canal Skateway to close Saturday night

The entire Rideau Canal Skateway will close Saturday at 11 p.m. due to expected rising temperatures over the weekend.
The full 7.8-km stretch from the National Arts Centre to Dow’s Lake will be closed to preserve the ice conditions as crews wait for temperatures to drop.
The National Capital Commission said Friday it plans to reopen the skateway as quickly as possible, weather permitting.
The NCC also reminds the public to refrain from venturing onto the skateway once it is closed.
