Sarnia, Ontario - The Canadian Coast Guard advises residents in Owen Sound in Ontario that icebreaking operations may occur in the area on or around January 27, 2025. The purpose of this operation is to break up the ice to allow commercial vessels safe and efficient movement.
It is recommended that all traffic on the ice, including pedestrians, fishers, snowmobilers, and all-terrain vehicle operators, leave the ice during icebreaking operations. The ice may move, creating a real danger for anyone on it. Additionally, plan activities carefully and use extreme caution after operations are complete as the ice will remain unstable even once the icebreaker has left the area.
The date and assets are subject to change with no notice, as activities could begin before or after that period, depending on operational requirements or weather conditions.
