Gee, I thought they were going to announce the closure of the Sir Georges Etienne Cartier Parkway for active transportation only.

Makes sense to me! It's an incredible place for lounging in the sun and hanging out, even when it's a little nippy for swimming. September is usually pretty warm these days, I'd be disappointed if they closed it before Oct. 1st.

Like City beaches that "close" (unsupervised) end of August.

To be fair tho! I've never seen a liffeguard at city pools/beaches that is not of school age.

Until the water gets hard, it's not too nippy for some people!

We're losing the canal for skating but at least we'll be able to swim in it...

AquaTaxi, provider of water taxis service along the Ottawa River, expects to add a fourth dock at the NCC River House.

Deachman: Water Taxi! Take me down the Rideau Canal to Lansdowne

Parks Canada is starting a pilot project next year on Ottawa's heritage waterway. Meanwhile, a taxi service on the Ottawa River plans to expand. It's about time.

Meanwhile, Luc Côté, who, along with partner Tina Lazzarone, operates Aqua Taxi, a.k.a. Water Taxi Eh, on the Ottawa River, says he expects to add a fourth dock to his ferry service next year, at the newly renovated NCC River House.

Aqua Taxi’s five solar-electric boats ply the river from mid-May to mid-October, docking at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, the Ottawa Locks at the mouth of the Rideau Canal, and Richmond Landing behind Library and Archives Canada on Wellington Street. Passengers can travel between these points for $6.95 a trip. Côté estimates that about 15,000 people used the service this year.
