WestJet plane skids off runway at Ottawa airport
The airport runways were icy after freezing rain fell across much of Ontario.
The flight originated in Calgary.
The Boeing 737 came to a rest in the snow and ice off the end of runway 25.
There were no injuries among the passengers and crew.

As for Cam. Air Canada's recovery team went to YOW (yes we have a recovery team) and removed the aircraft from the snowbank. AC had diverted 6 flights away from YOW because of the freezing rain.
