DEVILS BLANKET IS ONE MORE REASON TO REMEMBER NO ICE IS SAFE ICE
(GEORGIAN BAY TOWNSHIP, ON)- Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind all ice surface users of the potential for an ice related incident while exploring our local expansive iced over waterways.
Please take some time to view the very impressive attached media release link from our fellow emergency service personnel in the United States Coast Guard. The link provides and explains some very real life situations along with explaining the “DEVILS BLANKET” terminology.

We thank all ice surface users who check in with local ice surface users, social media and related businesses to inform themselves of the ice conditions so that everyone is safer- the user and emergency services! -30-
