Celebrating Winter in Ottawa

Sentinel Storage supports the work of the National Capital Commission 

January 21, 2024 

Ottawa, a city shaped by winter, proudly stands as one of the coldest capitals globally. For nearly half the year, its streets are blanketed in snow and ice—an embrace of the season that resonates with the indomitable spirit of Canadians. 

The iconic image of families joyfully skating on the frozen Rideau Canal, framed by the Parliament Buildings, perfectly encapsulates the Canadian enthusiasm for the cold months. In this winter wonderland, Ottawa thrives, thanks in part to the dedicated efforts of the National Capital Commission (NCC). 

The NCC plays a crucial role in maintaining and promoting the Capital Region, ensuring it remains a year-round playground for all Canadians. Sentinel Storage is honored to be a proud supporter of the NCC's vital work, contributing to the vibrancy of Ottawa in winter and beyond. 

One of the highlights of the winter season in the Capital Region is the Rideau Canal Skateway—a testament to the enduring love Canadians have for the cold. In 2024, we provided branded Cubeit containers near the canal. These containers signal community areas for outdoor gatherings, enhancing the experience of enjoying the crisp winter air. Weather permitting, these locations may also serve as starting points for a delightful skate along the canal. 

 Whether it's the Skateway or other NCC events, rest assured that, as a Canadian, the Capital Region is yours to celebrate. The NCC consistently strives to preserve Ottawa's extraordinary natural treasures, and Sentinel Storage takes pride in supporting their efforts.
