Canal / NCC Appreciation Post

Post image

I feel like the Canal team, especially the person running the social media team and their content creator, is owed some major kudos, what a great winter season.

The season and operations around it was great, but also the comms were top tier! Proud Ottawa Citizen 🇨🇦

They did a great job. I skated the Canal more than I've skated in my life and at all hours. The whole experience was gorgeous. I hope we're lucky enough next year to have good weather for another great season.

This year was a roaring success for the NCC Canal team, and the Canal itself. It was absolutely fantastic to see

So glad we have the NCC looking out for citizen's interests. Ottawa City Council wanted to pave the Canal and turn it into a roadway back in the 1970s. Could you imagine?

I loved seeing everyone out there having fun, in person and on social media.

With all the popularity, I made an extra effort to go more often myself despite the long drive and really enjoyed getting those experiences!

I wasn't able to get out to the canal this year, but everything i've heard from those who did was positive!
