“Cause after a long day of skating you need something to eat that makes it all worth it. Sugar will do that.”
Laura Taggart, also 12, had been determinedly checking the status of the canal.
“We’ve been looking at it every single day. Indoor rinks are nice and smooth. This one’s, like, the biggest one in the world and it’s outside and I just like being outside and stuff.”
Dominique Mosco, out with her husband, John, and daughter, Elyse, said skating on the canal is a family tradition.
“It’s 35 years that we’ve been in Ottawa and we’ve come every year at least once.”
“My daughter’s visiting from Dublin, Ireland and we needed to take her out on the skateway and it just opened today and we were so excited. Sunny, beautiful, nice temperature, and she wanted to skate and we’re having a great day.”
John Mosco said he didn’t expect such great ice conditions.
“The ice is perfect this year. For being the first opening day we expected it to be worse but it was actually really nice.”
Meanwhile, weather conditions appear ideal for the rest of the weekend, according to Environment Canada’s weekend weather forecast for Ottawa.
Sunday is expected to be increasingly cloudy, with a 40-per-cent chance of flurries in the afternoon, and a high of -7 C.

The news also bodes well for Winterlude, which is just around the corner, running from Jan. 29 until Feb. 15.
