River Patrol

Current river conditions:

Winter is now upon us and it's a time where parents and teachers should remind children at risk about the dangers of cold water and Thin Ice. Ice rescues are preventable and put both the public and emergency crews at risk.
Ice rescues should be left to trained first responders, anyone who sees a person or animal in distress should call 911 instead of taking matters into their own hands.
The Winnipeg Police Service River Patrol Unit would like to remind all Citizens of Winnipeg to use extreme caution around all of our frozen waterways. The Winnipeg Police Service considers all frozen bodies of water within the City of Winnipeg to be considered extremely unsafe.
Ice thickness is always unpredictable on all waterways and ponds so we encourage all citizens to stay clear of these surfaces as well as the banks around them.
Falling thru the ice could cost you your life so take our advice and stay off the ice.
