Rideau Canal Skateway in Ottowa, Canada

Today we're at the iconic Rideau Canal Skateway in Canada's capital city of Ottawa. Each winter a 4.8-mile section of the canal downtown is converted into the world's largest—and second longest—outdoor skating rink. Rideau was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007, and every year this rink section becomes a featured attraction of Winterlude, a free, annual festival which attracts visitors from across the country for the first three weekends of February.

The 2022 Winterlude festival runs February 4-21 and features a variety of cold-weather activities, including ice-sculpture and snowman-building competitions, a gigantic snowflake playground, a snowy tug-of-war, winter sports lessons, and wide array of public art installations. With activities for people of all ages, Winterlude allows locals and tourists to indulge in Canada's cultural and artistic diversity, while transforming the city into a giant winter wonderland.

今天我们来到加拿大首都渥太华标志性的里多运河滑道。每年冬天，运河市中心的一段4.8英里长的区域被改造成世界上最大、第二长的室外溜冰场。里多在2007年被联合国教科文组织指定为世界遗产，每年这个溜冰场区都会成为冬季乐园的特色景点，冬季乐园是一个免费的年度节日，在2月的前三个周末吸引来自全国各地的游客。

2022年的温特卢德艺术节将于2月4日至21日举行，以各种寒冷天气活动为特色，包括冰雕和堆雪人比赛、一个巨大的雪花操场、一场白雪皑皑的拔河、冬季体育课和各种公共艺术装置。Winterlude为各个年龄段的人提供各种活动，让当地人和游客可以尽情享受加拿大的文化和艺术多样性，同时将这座城市变成一个巨大的冬季仙境。
