Winterlude ('Bal de Neige' in French) is the annual winter festival
of Canada's capital region (Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec).

In July 2005, Guinness World Records™ of London, England, confirmed
that the Rideau Canal Skateway in Canada’s capital region is indeed
the “Largest Naturally Frozen Ice Rink in the World,”
with a maintained skating surface of 165,621 square metres.
