Ice Safety
Lambton County residents are reminded to practice proper ice safety when enjoying time outdoors this winter.
Residents should know the ice.
Generally, clear blue ice is considered the strongest; white, opaque ice (or snow ice) is half as strong as blue ice; and grey ice is considered the most unsafe (greyness indicates the presence of water).
The following ice thicknesses may be used as a guideline to determine ice safety for certain activities:
- 15 cm is safe for walking or skating alone.
