Every year, police ask the public not to hang out on Toronto’s frozen ponds and open waters, and every year, people do it anyway. This past weekend proved to be no different as people ventured onto the lake to skate, play hockey, and get a good view of the city’s skyline. "If you are skating in an area of the lake like Lake Ontario and you see open water not far then that’s not safe ice because that water flows and it can go underneath the ice where you are and that weakens the ice,” Barbara Byers, a senior research officer with the Lifesaving Society. This ice is very unstable, posing significant safety concerns for members of the public and their pets. For safety’s sake please avoid walking, skating and sledding on the ice. #toronto #canada #waterfront #harbourfrontcentre #photographylovers #sun #sunsets #risky #skate #ice #frozenlakes #frozen #walking #wanderer #coldweather #instagram #reels #sunsetlovers #blogger #news #amazing #joy #snow #lake #ontario https://www.instagram.com/p/CZryjztOqqv/?utm_medium=tumblr
