With the up-and-down temperatures over the last few weeks, it’s been hard to gauge how thick the ice has been.
The Milton Fire Department warns residents to watch where they step.
Acting Fire Chief Kevin Foster says going for a skate may not be as safe as you think.
He says if you find yourself in the water, you should balance your weight out as much as possible and try to crawl out of the water.
Foster says no ice is ever truly safe.
Your best bet this winter, if you’re looking to go for a skate, is to go to the Milton Sports Centre, or any other local rinks.
