Ice fishing hut owners reminded to “Take it off” before April 1
Lacombe County and the Sylvan Lake Management Committee (SLMC), are reminding people to remove their ice fishing huts before April 1.
They are urging ice hut owners to do the right thing and remove the ice fishing huts before the spring thaw arrives.
While ice huts do not need to be legally removed from local lakes – including Sylvan Lake, Gull Lake and Buffalo Lake – until March 31, it’s important to get them off before the ice surface deteriorates.
“On behalf of the committee, I urge owners to think of safety and the health of the environment when they consider their decision,” said Roger Dufresne, SLMC Chair. “We all want our lakes to remain healthy, so we can enjoy them – safely – all year round.”
