OPP WARN SNOWMOBILERS OF POOR CONDITIONS
(BRACEBRIDGE, ON) – The Ontario
Provincial Police (OPP) Bracebridge Detachment warns snowmobilers of
potential dangers on Ontario
waterways.
The OPP warn of potentially dangerous ice conditions on
waterways due to the recent warm weather. Ice thickness is deteriorating and
water levels are rising. These two factors are creating very dangerous
conditions for snowmobilers and anyone who chooses to venture out onto ice
covered water.
Though snowmobiling season is not over yet, the OPP remind
operators to think safety when negotiating waterways. If you are unsure of
ice conditions, stay off.
Please visit the Ontario
Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) website at www.ofsc.on.ca for current trail conditions and warnings.
