Tracking the length of the Rideau Canal skating season over the years.

Rideau Canal Skateway

A quick look at some of the data around the Rideau Canal Skateway seasons.

Opening and closing dates are taken from Wikipedia

Closing: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rideau_Canal&oldid=1177261832 Opening: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rideau_Canal&oldid=995637706

No particular reason for these revisions, I just recorded them on different days.

Closing date for the 1972-73 season is estimated as the Wikipedia article only gives the number of days it was open.

Note that the canal can have non-skating days during its "open" period, i.e. a warm stretch can close the skating rink before it is fully closed for the season.
