Come meet our Rideau Canal Skateway experts right along the Queen Elizabeth Driveway! Learn more about how our experts transform the historic Rideau Canal into the world’s largest skating rink. The team will show you how our drilling equipment is used to check ice quality and will also present recent studies on the impact of climate change to the Rideau Canal Skateway.
