Community groups in Ottawa are planning a vigil to mourn the Rideau Canal Skateway, which did not open for the first time in its 53-year history this year.
Organizers said the vigil will be a time to "pause and acknowledge what is happening due to higher temperatures and a changing climate" as well as "honour feelings related to this loss within the support of community."
After warmer-than-usual weather for much of January and February, the NCC finally announced last Friday that the skateway would not open this winter. A July 2021 risk assessment on the effects of climate change on the skateway warned that in the next decades, the skating season would be less than 40 days about 50 per cent of the time.
