For Immediate Release
Icebreaking at Midland, Ontario April 3, 2020
Sarnia, Ontario Canadian Coast Guard Sarnia, Ontario - The Canadian Coast Guard advises residents of Midland, Ontario that the CCGS Samuel Risley is conducting icebreaking operations in the area on or around April 4, 2020.
It is recommended that all recreational users of the ice - pedestrians, fishers, snowmobilers, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) operators - leave the ice during icebreaking operations. The ice may move, creating a real danger for anyone on the ice. Additionally, they should plan their activities carefully and use extreme caution after operations are complete as the ice will remain unstable after the icebreaker has left the area.
Coast Guard icebreaking service on the Great Lakes and connecting waterways is delivered in close co-operation between the Canadian and United States Coast Guards. By working together the two Coast Guards ensure scheduled vessel traffic can move through the shipping channels and into and out of community harbours.
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.
