01

ICE SAFETY Before you go: Teach children to call for help loud and clear if they are in trouble.

Kids: check with a responsible adult before heading onto, or near, the ice.

Check that the ice sis smooth and at least 10 cm (4 in) thick. Check with local authorities for more information on ice thickness.* Understand that ice is often unpredictable.

In spring weather, thick is is not necessarily safe. During spring melt, impurities in the ice melt quickly, creating weak spots.

Ice seldom freezes or thaws at an equal rate.

If in doubt, don't go out!

On the ice: Obey all signs posted on, or near, ice.

Ensure that children only play on, or near, ice while a responsible adult supervises.

Use the buddy system - never walk on ice alone.

Self-rescue steps: 1. Float on your stomach, facing the shore.

2. Reach forward onto the ice - do not push down on it.

3. Kick your legs to slowly push your torso onto the ice.

4. Crawl away from the hole.

5. Get medical help immediately. If you can't climb onto the ice, float in the water and call for help loud and clear.

If you hear a crack: Lay down and crawl on the ice.

Crawl or roll back to land.

Helping others: Phone 9-1-1, then call out the selfrescue steps.

Push or throw something (e.g. long stick, rope, floating aid) that the victim can use to get out of the water and float on.

*The ABRA posts our lake's ice thickness on AuburnBayRA.ca
