Tuesday, March 13th, 2012 PUBLIC ADVISORY - RIVER ICE CONDITIONS The Winnipeg Police Service River Patrol Unit would like to remind the public that given the mild weather conditions recently, thin ice and open water is present on our rivers and retention ponds. All waterways are considered to be unsafe as ice thickness can be very unpredictable. Parents, guardians and teachers are asked to remind children of the dangers involving cold water and thin ice. This is an extremely dangerous time as open water on the rivers is swift and very cold. Members of the public are asked to refrain from venturing near any bodies of water as rivers banks can be slippery. PLEASE BE SAFE.
