Very cool! Great addition to keep the place active all year.

"Winterization" of the urban beaches should really be targetting Westboro and Moussette.

What do you call the gondolas at Westboro Beach?

I assume this is just a first step. I'm sure they'll have more of these types of saunas elsewhere over time.

I call them a damn fine idea, and good on Mangano for taking the flyer on it and proving a bunch of skeptics wrong.

But they don't support my four-seasons wild swimming

And River House is not very accessible in the high season, let alone in winter, compared to those other two sites.

Wonder why they didn't put it near the East Wharf. It seems to be spontaneous kind of fun where you look at it during your sightseeing tour or from the Major's Hill park and say "Want". Also the views are much nicer.

Thank god that hideously ugly building above the top of the locks isn’t real.

Actually it's real. Ultra zoom from the Gatineau side does that to the perspective.

10 The Driveway isn't real; 10 The Driveway can't hurt me. 10 The Driveway isn't real; 10 The Driveway can't hurt me. 10 The Driveway isn't real; 10 The Driveway can't hurt me.

Well sh!t. I stand corrected.

Never noticed it before. I might have expected The Merit on Lisgar to poke up there, but I suppose it's out of frame to the right.

Where's the NCC Viewplane Police when you need them?

Meh, it's not that bad.

I'm fairly confident it will come.
