And, 31 days later (plus days when it was temporarily closed), the Skateway is closed for the season.
This is one of the shortest seasons on record (but not the shortest). And the portion of the Skateway closest to Parliament Hill never got cold enough to freeze enough to be safe to skate on.
It's getting too hot around here, year after year, to keep the Skateway open for very long any more.
