OPP Issue Warning About Ice Conditions

With milder temperatures forecast all weekend, Ontario Provincial Police are warning the public to use extreme caution near any bodies of water with ice on them.

Ice conditions are rapidly changing with the mild weather and rain, so stay off the ice. What appears to be frozen could in fact be ice that is not capable of supporting much weight.

OPP also remind parents to “speak to your children and remind them of the dangers that come with melting ice. Not only does the ice become unsafe, but banks along all bodies of water, whether big or small, can become weakened and can pose a threat to people of all ages and pets too.”

Please spread the word on your social media channels. Don't take unnecessary risks on foot or snowmobile.
