15:27 / January 17, 2017 / Skate / 6 :00 / Rideau Canal Skateway / Ottawa is home to the largest skateway in the world (7.8 kilometres long) / The 202km Rideau Canal was opened in 1832 as a precaution in case of war with the United States and remains in use today for boating and skating / You hear skating along the canal, ending in a quiet area where skaters practice their skills / I like the sound of metal on ice and the excitement of skaters voices, some of whom are new to Canada and are experiencing skating on frozen water for the first time / The photo is of a panel by the National Capital Commission about the skate way / People in the background are waiting in line to eat ‘beaver tail’ pastries //
