Spring is coming and with it comes flood control operations on the Rideau River.

Ice blasting operations are planned for this Saturday, March 1, subject to suitable weather and ice conditions.

The operations will create hazardous conditions with open water and unstable ice, so it is strongly recommended to avoid all cleared ice areas.
Parents and teachers near the Rideau River are asked to take all precautions by warning children of the danger and keeping them away from the river.
