Anyone planning to be out on the ice on Georgian Bay near Midland today might want to think again.

The Canadian Coast Guard ice breaker will be making its way through the Midland Harbour this morning Dec. 30 around 7 a.m.  The ship is breaking the ice into Midland Bay to assist the M/V Frontenac leaving Midland Harbour.

Just after the noon hour, the ice breaker Risley will be ice breaking as she enters Owen Sound Harbour, making way for the M/V Algorail to enter early this evening.

 All ice users are advised to stay well clear of the ice breaker and any other ship as they pass through the broken ice channel to their destination. The ice in and around the ships will be broken and fragmented, creating unsafe ice conditions on the harbour.
