Devine lays out the annual routine of putting the Skateway together, which begins each September when a team of four people begins to build and repair the Skateway infrastructure “because coming end of October Parks Canada, who owns the Rideau Canal, lowers the water for us to install all the big assets — the vehicle ramps, 35 staircases, five [universal access] ramps … the chalets, the washrooms, the skate rentals. We have a three-week window, we do all of that.”
