The Rideau Canal Skateway will reopen to skaters between Rideau and Bank streets at 8 a.m. Sunday, the National Capital Commission says.
The popular winter attraction closed on Feb. 24 to preserve the ice through a stretch of warmer weather.
Temperatures in Ottawa are expected to remain below freezing until Tuesday, when they could rise slightly above zero, according to Environment Canada.
Last week, the NCC's Bruce Devine said he expected the skateway would stay open for several more weeks once it reopened.
