Watch out for open water

RCMP wants people to pay attention when they go out on icy surfaces, especially if there is open water nearby.

There is open water on Lake Killarney due to the aerators that run into the lake near the water treatment plant.

"We received some calls from people who reported that some people on the ice were getting too close to the open water, and I saw that action was taken to get signs and barriers to keep people away from the water. area because it will be open all year, "said RCMP Constable Wayne Goetz.

He emphasizes that it is certainly a risk when people use the lake in the winter months.

"People need to use common sense, sometimes they are in a hurry to go out there and go fishing when it is better to give things a little more time.
