2025 Rideau Canal Skating Season Starts on Saturday Jan 11th

• During last season (2024) we setup this project to track the ice conditions of the Rideau Canal a few times a day, and to explore using the python library ESRI_DUMP to dump an ESRI WFS to a GeoJSON file, then flatten that into a CSV.

• This allows non-GEO Data folks to use simple flat data techniques to work with Geo Data from ESRI Rest endpoints

• 2024 was a limited schedule for skating, but we should be able to turn the GH Action back on and keep adding to the dataset form this season.

• Here is an Google Collab notenook with an example to get started with:

• Starting the data coolection for 2025, before the canal opens but after the server is setup with any changes, we can get the full seaon-long data running on a GH ACtion 3x/day
