Province considers public advisories after number of ice-related falls

CALGARY- Alberta is considering issuing public advisories due to a growing number of people who have been falling on icy roads and sidewalks.

Yesterday, a Calgary man in his 60s died of his injuries in hospital after slipping on ice.

Doctor Eddy Lang, head of emergency medicine in the Calgary region, says people need to be more careful of hazardous weather conditions.

Lang says on an average winter day about 60 people end up in emergency rooms in the city.
