Lochmüller Lab Visits World’s Longest Skating Rink
Published: 14 February 2022
This February the Lochmüller Lab took a break from the research benches at the CHEO RI to visit the Rideau Canal Skateway. A UNESCO world heritage site, the Rideau Canal Skateway is a 7.8 km long skating path that winds its way through downtown Ottawa and provides a beautiful way to explore the city during the winter.
As a bonus the canal is also home to the delicious beavertail, a local delicacy! (Despite its name, no beavers are involved in the making of a beavertail – it’s a fried pastry!)
