The City of Winnipeg is telling the public that all frozen bodies of water are unsafe.

Even though the weather is projected to get near 0°C until next week Wednesday, the Fire Paramedic Service has asked the public to use caution around icy bodies of water.

This comes in response to the city's River Patrol Unit issuing a statement saying that all frozen bodies of water are unsafe due to varying conditions. The public should not venture onto untested ice.

Mayo Brian Bowman also joined in, tweeting out this morning that the rivers are closed.
