As we inch closer to Spring, frozen lakes and rivers will start to melt.

The Red Cross wants all Manitobans to be safe in, on and around the ice.

Red Cross Ambassador Kathleen Low says clear blue ice is strongest while grey is unsafe. She also reminds people to never go out on ice alone, and to tell someone who isn’t coming with you, where you’ll be.

You can hear more ice safety tips from Kathleen Low this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10 during Thompson Today.
