The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is advising Parry Sounders to avoid the ice this weekend for an incoming icebreaker.
The CCGS Samuel Risley will transit through the area to the Coast Guard Parry Sound base on or around March 28.
CCG recommends that all recreational users, pedestrians, fishers, snowmobilers, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) operators, leave the ice during icebreaking operations.
The ice may move, creating a real danger for anyone on the ice.
Additionally, they should plan their activities carefully and use extreme caution after operations are complete as the ice will remain unstable after the icebreaker has left the area.
Coast Guard icebreaking service on the Great Lakes and connecting waterways is delivered in close co-operation between the Canadian and United States Coast Guards.
