Officials with the Greenstone detachment of the OPP are issuing a warning regarding ice conditions on area lakes and waterways.
An unusually warm March has led the OPP to encourage people to take extra care on lakes and rivers and ensure good ice conditions before venturing onto them.
Police say citizens should keep in mind that the actions of someone who chooses to risk their life by venturing onto lakes with unsafe ice conditions also risks the lives of emergency personnel, volunteers and at times good Samaritans who may try to help.
The OPP is asking that if you have any concern about ice conditions, it is better to stay off and live to ride or fish another day.
