Skate on the world’s largest, naturally frozen skating rink: the Rideau Canal!
Students can borrow skates from the GO-ISSO (until quantities/sizes are gone) or rent skates, helmets and other accessories from kiosks on the Canal in advance. Equipment Rentals information can be found here. We will meet at the GO-ISSO at 1:15 pm and walk to the Canal. Be sure to dress warmly (mitts, hats, warm pants) because it can get cold out there! More details on the Rideau Canal Skateway can be found here.
