AVIS DE SÉCURITÉ – DRAINAGE DU CANAL RIDEAU VENDREDI, LE 5 MARS
Région de la capitale du Canada — La Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) tient à rappeler au public que la patinoire du canal Rideau est fermée pour la saison, et qu’il est dangereux de s’aventurer sur la surface de glace.
Le vendredi 5 mars, Parcs Canada drainera l’eau sous la surface de glace recouvrant le canal Rideau. Cette opération annuelle consiste à enlever les poutres installées en amont des écluses d’Ottawa (près du Fairmont Château Laurier). Ces travaux déstabiliseront lentement la glace restante et la feront s’effondrer. La CCN demande au public de penser d’abord et avant tout à sa sécurité et de ne pas s’aventurer sur la surface glacée du canal Rideau.

SAFETY ADVISORY – DRAINING OF RIDEAU CANAL ON FRIDAY, MAR. 5
Canada’s Capital Region — The National Capital Commission (NCC) wishes to remind the public that the Rideau Canal Skateway is closed for the season, and that it is unsafe to venture onto the ice surface.
On Friday, March 5, Parks Canada will begin draining the water under the ice surface on the Rideau Canal. This annual operation involves the removal of logs installed at the top of the Ottawa locks (beside the Fairmont Château Laurier). This work will slowly destabilize and collapse the ice that remains on the Rideau Canal. Therefore, the NCC urges the public to keep personal safety in mind and remain off the Rideau Canal’s ice surface.
