The Rideau Canal Skateway in Ottawa , Canada , saw its shortest skating season last winter , lasting just 10 days .

The National Capital Commission (NCC) is hoping for many days of cold so skaters can get on the ice next month .

The skating rink can only open to the public once the surface is at least 30 centimetres ( 12 inches ) thick with good quality ice.

The NCC is already implementing new strategies to help create ice earlier in the season .

It’s a strategy that has been used by the City of Toronto for a number of years now . The water fountain at Toronto ’s Nathan Phillips Square is converted into an outdoor artificial ice rink. That rink opened up for skating on Nov. 30 . As for the Rideau Canal , it all comes down to Ottawa weather over the coming weeks . “If we get the cold, well, we’re then very positive to have a good season,” Devine said..
