ICE-BREAKING OPERATIONS

 

MIDLAND -- An American icebreaker will be in Midland Harbour next week to clear a shipping channel.

 

From Monday until Thursday, U.S. Coast Guard cutter Mobile Bay will clear a path for various vessels into Georgian Bay.

 

Anglers, snowmobilers and other recreational enthusiasts who frequent the harbour are being "strongly advised" to remain clear of the icebreaker's tracks, because it will cause hazardous and unstable ice conditions.

Yep.. they do it every year.... just when we get good ice they come in and break it up. The only positive...we still have a harbour that is used for commercial operations and employment.. Ogilvie Mills (AGM) and the Silica Sand folks at Unimin Canada.
