The City of Regina is urging people to stay away from all bodies of water.
That includes Wascana Lake and creek, storm channels and detention ponds.
“Throughout the winter season, do not walk, ski, skate or play on any body of water. Parents and guardians are asked to take a few moments to talk with children about this important safety rule,” read a statement from the city.
Regina’s fire department is also reminding residents not to build rinks on storm channels and ponds, as ice conditions can change fast and without warning.
Pet owners are also being told to keep their animals on leashes.
“If a pet breaks through the ice, do not attempt to rescue it as you will be putting yourself in serious danger,” the statement says.
If you see anyone, particularly children, close to thin ice, call the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500.
In an emergency involving people or pets, call 9-1-1.
