Important Ice Safety Notice

02/08/2024

The Public Safety Division (PSD) wishes to caution Kahnawakehronon that there is open ice in the area of Deer′s Beach and Turtle Bay.

The general rule of thumb for ice thickness is:

• Two (2) inches - STAY OFF
• Four (4) inches and up - Probably safe for walking and ice fishing on foot
• Five (5) inches and up - Probably safe for ATV or snowmobiling
• Eight (8) to twelve (12) inches - Probably safe for small cars or light pick-ups
• Twelve (12) to fifteen (15) inches and up - Probably safe for medium trucks

Please note that when ice is involved, you are, without question, at risk. There is no such thing as 100% safe ice, and it is crucial to understand this danger every time you step onto it. Use at your own risk.
