No skating around it, Parliament Hill rink is a boondoggle
KAMLOOPS — If you’re planning to hop a plane to Ottawa and go for a skate on the brand new $5.6-million outdoor rink on Parliament Hill, better get moving.
Tickets to skate on the rink are available online as of today, and you’ll have to reserve two days in advance. They’re free, but you’ll only be allowed 45 minutes of skating time, along with 199 other people.
Don’t bring a hockey stick or a puck — they’re not allowed, unless you’re part of one of the special tournaments or exhibitions planned for the rink.
