Stay Safe Near Waterways

As snow melts and water levels change, residents are reminded to exercise extreme caution around rivers, lakes, and drainage courses.

  • No ice is safe ice. Warmer temperatures and precipitation will weaken ice conditions;
  • Stay away from fast-moving water and unstable banks, as they can collapse without warning;
  • Keep children and pets away from all water bodies and ice-covered surfaces, as ice can quickly become unsafe;
  • Exercise extreme caution when using forest access, gravel or secondary roads as they may be prone to soft areas;
  • Do not attempt to drive through flooded areas. Even shallow water can be hazardous and unpredictable; and
  • Be prepared. Have an emergency kit prepared with the items you and your family need to sustain themselves for a prolonged period of time.

Public Works crews continue to follow changing weather conditions and clear catch basins, push snowbanks back and monitor known areas that experience localized flooding.
