Lots of people are out today for Winterlude events.<br /><br />@Wendy: I think every Canadian should come here to see Winterlude once in their lives. I'm lucky to live here, so I get to take in a lot of different things.

Skating along the Rideau is something I've always wanted to do. You got some nice shots of everyone enjoying their time on the canal. <br />The flags in our town have been at half mast this past week too. Such a selfish act by one person who has recklessly ruined the lives of these innocent men. <br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-38984634975823082592017-02-04T14:55:17.377-05:002017-02-04T14:55:17.377-05:00Always love to see the skaters, as you know.

@Mari: locals here seem to thin...@Bill: thank you.<br /><br />@Mari: locals here seem to think since you can't beat winter, you might as well enjoy it.<br /><br />@Kay: very true after this week.<br /><br />@Furry Gnome: and so many people love to come out on the ice.<br /><br />@Jack: it's wonderful in every season, but particularly so in winter. As to mass murder, it's such a rarity here, and this one is particularly shocking.<br /><br />@Susie: this one certainly does. I think it speaks volumes of our way of life that our leaders- most of them, anyway- have risen to the occasion with this. There are ugly elements in our country, which unfortunately we see online, but most of us are better than that.<br /><br />@Nathalie: I imagine it's something you never forget. The rink's free, and open from early in the morning until late in the evening. I think people take to it, regardless of how close it is to the Canal, because it's more reliable. It opens in early December and goes into March. The Canal can be subject to what the weather does and can end up closed down for a few days because of a warm up, but the rink stays open, and is used a lot. We have other outdoor rinks across the city, often in parks. And then there are arena rinks.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-30313340740986492472017-02-02T07:32:17.602-05:002017-02-02T07:32:17.602-05:00What a great choice for the theme!

I suppose it's like riding a bike, you never really forget?<br /><br />I wonder why people would use the skating rink rather than go on the canal. Also do you have to pay to use the skating rink?Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-45269589866515339122017-02-02T00:04:17.667-05:002017-02-02T00:04:17.667-05:00The only ice skating here in Saudi Arabia is at a ...The only ice skating here in Saudi Arabia is at a mall with an indoor ice skating rink!
