MNR water safety advisory still in effect

A water safety advisory is still in effect for the District. The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds everyone of the dangers that exist on local streams, rivers, ponds and lakes during the spring breakup and is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. During this time of year we can expect higher and faster flowing water in most watercourses and slippery or unstable banks and extremely cold water temperatures can lead to very hazardous conditions. Officers will continue to monitor the watersheds and issue updates when conditions change.
