| With milder temperatures, the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition in conjunction with the City of Ottawa wants to remind residents that when temperatures go up the dangers of being on ice and open water goes up. When ice begins to thaw it may look solid but is often extremely dangerous. Grey ice is unsafe. The greyness indicates the presence of water. Water levels this year are higher than usual and are accompanied by soft, slippery banks that are
treacherous, particularly for young children, adults and the family pet. Check ice safety guidelines at Lifesaving Society and Canadian Red Cross. Simply stay away from the ice. |
