Caution needed around waterways as weather heats up
The City of Red Deer is warning residents to exercise caution near the river and area creeks, ponds and reservoirs.
Emergency Management Coordinator Karen Mann says warm weather has arrived and with that comes people excited to enjoy the outdoors.
“At this time of the year, remaining ice is unstable and melting snow results in fast-flowing creeks and changing levels on the river,” she says.
As well, parents are encouraged to speak with their children about water and ice safety.
