@Mirozenx No, it's free. Some people go to school, university or work skating the canal in the wintertime. It's 7. somthing-near 8 kms long.....there are also some nice tourism vids here on youtube of the Rideau Canal, some nice summer ones too...really nice place....old looking parliament buildings, the Chateau Laurier Hotel, very nice neigborhoods along the way.
Hi Theklassyone, great video, it shows a lot of what makes the frozen canal so popular for Canadians and Ottawa residents. It would be great for the Canada’s Got Treasures collection which aims to feature Canadian videos of personal or cultural significance (see video response). Help celebrate Canadian diversity by joining our group (/group/TresorTreasure) and submitting your video. It would be made available on our channel and website.
Wasn't it great when you got someone else to put your shoes in their backpack? :) Man I miss the canal! Saved me 30 minutes to just cross over during winter !!
I'm going this year!

They didn't show any of the good parts of it.They've got beaver tales and contests and entertainment at some parts.
Every year the ice is so bad though.

@BAoGib Yeah i know, it's a big rink though so it's really hard to take care of. I'm surprised it's as good as it is.
