No ice is safe ice

The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like to remind citizens to use caution near any body of water that appears frozen.

Fluctuating temperatures may cause the ice to be unstable.

– Please do not go out on the ice alone

– Ensure that you are prepared, should an emergency arise ie: communication device, safety equipment.

– Use caution at all times and stay close to shore

Please remember that changing water and weather conditions can make what was strong ice much thinner and weaker.
