Winterlude

By Linda Tancs

If wintertime pursuits are your passion, then head to Canada’s capital city, Ottowa, for Winterlude through 21 February.  Taking place downtown, most events are free and include skating, snow and ice sculpture, concerts, sleigh rides and tobogganing.  Events are held at Jacques Cartier Park, Festival Plaza at Ottawa City Hall, and Confederation Park, but the highlight is most certainly Rideau Canal, which transforms into a giant skating rink, the Rideau Canal Skateway.  A skater’s paradise, this canal linking the Ottawa River with Lake Ontario is the oldest continuously operating canal in North America.
