Ottawa has had for many years a Dragon Boat Festival in the summers, drawing many visitors and participants to Mooney's Bay on the Rideau River, where the event is held. For Winterlude 2017, the organizers of that event decided to try it on ice. It turned out to be wildly successful, held on Dow's Lake one weekend along the Canal skateway.
Here we have the front of a boat in profile.
Many people came out to see it on what was a mild day. This dog was there too.
I've seen the summer version as well. This looks harder. The dragon boats are placed onto an apparatus with parallel skate blades. The rowers aren't using oars, but sticks to propel themselves along the ice. It's quite something to see in person.
