Ottawa’s Rink of Dreams is set to open for the season at noon on Saturday, Dec. 1.
The free outdoor rink, now in its eighth season in Marion Dewar Plaza outside Ottawa City Hall, drew 30,000 skaters last winter.
This year, the rink will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. A heated change hut will be open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The rink will stay open until the end of the skating season next March. The 12,500-square-foot rink first opened in January 2012 as a joint venture of the city and the Ottawa Senators Foundation.
