Be safe this winter and remember the following tips:
Ice is never 100 percent safe. Conditions are not being monitored, and ice may be unsafe.
Keep family and pets away from all bodies of water.
Stay away from frozen reservoirs and ice around dams and channels and avoid all recreational activities in or around water unless at an officially designated municipal facility fit for that purpose.
Obey any safety signage that has been posted.
If an ice jam poses an immediate risk to life and property, call 911.
TRCA also reminds residents about safety around dams. Dam operators often lower water levels in reservoirs during winter and spring. Beware of thin ice that may develop due to dam operations. Learn more about dam safety. This message is in association with the Toronto Police and the Toronto Region Conservation Association .
