The Sturgeon River is both beautiful and dangerous this time of year. It is tempting to venture out on the ice, but it could result is severe injury or death. Do not skate, snowshoe, cross country ski or walk on the ice. Given the dangers of foot traffic, it is equally important not to take snowmobiles, side by sides (UTVs), quads (ATVs) or other vehicles on the ice. Stay off and stay safe.

As residents have been following provincial public health measures, hockey nets are available at outdoor boarded rinks for shooting practice only. Hockey, ringette and shinny on outdoor boarded rinks and social ice surfaces remain prohibited as per measures announced on December 8. Due to the nature of these games, it is not possible for participants to maintain a physical distance of two metres from other players. If the rules are respected, outdoor boarded rinks and social ice surfaces will remain open. However, if compliance with the rules is poor, the outdoor boarded rinks and social ice surfaces may be closed.
