The entire length of the 7.8-kilometre Rideau Canal skateway — from downtown Ottawa to the Hartwells Locks — will be closing due to poor weather, the National Capital Commission says.
The "temporary" closure will happen at 10 p.m. and is due to "adverse weather conditions and their negative impact on the ice," the NCC said.
