❄️ Ice safety reminder ❄️

No ice is completely safe. If you’re heading out, follow the minimum guideline of 10 cm (4 inches) of clear, hard ice for walking, skating, or fishing, and check ice thickness in multiple locations.

Stay safe this winter. Visit https://www.lifesaving.bc.ca/watersmart-education/ for more Ice Smart tips.
