The Rideau Canal is the world's longest skating rink. It didn't open at all last year for the first time in the decades they've been flooding it and many consider that its days are numbered as the climate changes. But, they've got a short stretch of it open this year and folks are enjoying the heck out of it while they can! It was a relatively small crowd out there tonight - at least some of them are certainly the proverbial civil servants skating home from work!
