Icy conditions near rivers and dams can change quickly
TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2022 /CNW/ - Ontario Power Generation (OPG) reminds the public to stay safe this holiday season and obey all warning signs, fencing and booms near its hydroelectric stations and dams.
Changing water currents and flows near our stations mean when the ice starts to form, it will be thin and not safe for recreation. Even ice that looks safe may not be. If you're enjoying the outdoors this holiday season, please remember to stay clear and stay safe.

"The holidays can be a great time to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends," said Paul Seguin, OPG SVP, Renewable Generation. "But water levels can change quickly and without warning, making ice conditions unpredictable and dangerous. Warning signs, safety booms, fences and barriers are there for your safety, no matter the season."
