With the cooler temperatures, the ice is forming earlier than usual this year. For your safety, please stay of the ice until it measures 6" (15cm).
Safety Tips
The City of Yellowknife Fire Division strongly recommends that you stay off the ice until it measures 6 inches thick. Please be careful when traveling on the ice, especially in a vehicle or on a machine, and keep these tips in mind:
- Be aware of your surroundings
- Travel with a partner
- Ice thickness varies, there are always areas of weakness
- Carry dry clothing and matches with you
- If you are unsure of the ice thickness, drill a test hole or stay off of the ice entirely
