Public Reminded to Stay Off Ice at Boulevard Lake

The public is reminded to stay off all natural ice surfaces as they may be unsafe, including the ice at Boulevard Lake.

“Members of the public may be curious about the dam construction at Boulevard Lake,” said Mike Vogrig, City of Thunder Bay Project Engineer. “However, ice on Boulevard Lake is not safe for pedestrians. Ice on the whole lake is affected by the construction and by fluctuating water levels. Please view the construction from the safety of the shore.”

Thunder Bay Fire Rescue has also recently reminded residents that all natural ice surfaces around the City are best avoided. Fire Rescue has released this informative video: https://youtu.be/VJPcUvTroP8.
