Stay OFF the stormwater ponds
As temperatures rise and spring is around the
corner, ice on frozen bodies of water becomes
increasingly weak and unpredictable. Don't take
any risks. Please stay off the ice and away
from the edges of frozen bodies of water.
Oakville Fire Chief Paul Boissonneault has this
short, important safety message related to ice
safety. Remember: stormwater ponds are NEVER
safe to be around, especially when the ice appears
to be solid. Stay off the ice and stay safe!
