Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency is warning people to beware of thin ice and unsafe crossing conditions, even though the temperatures are low.

The agency began releasing water from the Qu’Appelle Dam and Rafferty and Alameda reservoirs in November and will continue to do so throughout the winter.

Winter stream flows create serious thin ice hazards, said the agency, and people should make sure that ice is safe for any activity they plan.
