Summarization
Due to an unusually warm winter in Ottawa, the Rideau Canal Skateway is at risk of not being opened for the first time in its 47 year history. Other outdoor rinks are being suggested as an alternative for Family Day or any day, and the NCC (National Capital Commission) will be looking at data to assess the effects of climate change and evaluate adaptation strategies. Unfortunately, the forecast for next week shows temperatures well above average, making it likely that the Rideau Canal Skateway will not open at all this winter.
Topic Modeling

| 1626217501158952967 | Incoming #Arctic air mass likely the only chance #Ottawa will have to finally get that @NCC_Skateway open.

| 1625882451913351169 | The average skating season for the @ncc_skateway in #Ottawa is 50 days. The number of skate days is getting shorter over time. 2023 may be the first year there is no skating on the canal. Climate change is here. No more delays. We need action. #canpoli #WinterSports #onpoli https://t.co/bVVGQ7kfVA | 4 |
