Save the Earth, Skate to Work! ‘World’s Largest Skating Rink’ Provides ‘Carbon-Free’ Commute

Love winter? Like to skate? Then you need to know about Ottawa’s Rideau Canal Skateway, a four mile frozen canal system that connects suburbs to the heart of the Canadian capital. Dubbed “the world’s largest skating rink,” it’s a cultural attraction and also an emissions-free mode of transport for outdoors-loving Ottawans, who can often be seen commuting on blades to work at downtown offices and to classes at the university.
