To highlight the 40th skating season of the Rideau Canal Skateway, the National Capital Commission (NCC) invites all Canadians to share with us your best memories of skating on the Rideau Canal since 1971. The NCC is looking for images that represent the best the Rideau Canal Skateway has to offer for both residents and visitors to Canada’s Capital Region.

Whether they are postcard-like or family snapshots, black and white or colour, please send in your photos in .jpg, .gif or .bmp formats and no larger than 3 MB in file size, along with your name and the date the picture was taken, by visiting www.canadascapital.gc.ca/skateway. These photos will be displayed as a slide show on the NCC’s Web site at www.canadascapital.gc.ca/skateway or on big screens at Rideau Canal Skateway / Winterlude events.
