Police Issue Warning about local Ice Conditions

Despite the recent cold weather, the OPP are warning local residents to

make sure of ice conditions before you venture out on local lakes and
rivers.

Over the weekend, the OPP say they were notified about a hole that
had opened up on Laurenson's Creek near K-Sports.

Officers investigated and say it appears that no-one fell through the ice at that location.

Police add that anyone heading out on the ice should have the proper
safety equipment, including a floatation device, a tow rope, a set of ice
picks and crampons.
