Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

Cornwall, ON – The Cornwall Community Police Service would like to remind the residents of Cornwall who are venturing onto the ice for activities such as ice fishing or skating to do so with caution. The ice might appear solid, however may not be as thick as you would think. If you are going to venture onto the ice remember these guidelines:

• 15cm for one person skating

• 20cm for group skating

• 25cm for snowmobiles

• 35cm for ice fishing huts

Also to remember clear blue ice is usually the strongest ice, while white frosty ice could be as much as two times less strong.
