Blasting of the Rideau River – a sign of spring. Today the city with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority will start blasting the ice on the Rideau River to alleviate potential floods. When several years ago I lived in New Edinburgh I loved hearing the blasting thinking at the end of winter is near. But I thought I read something that the blasting was no longer done as it is bad for the fish. Beware that there will be some street closures as a result.
