Warm weather prompts extreme caution alert for local ice

With the recent warm weather, the District of Invermere is urging extra caution on frozen surfaces.

That includes all lakes, river edges, and any areas with moving water.

Even if the ice looks solid, the recent weather can cause weak spots that are difficult to see.

The District of Invermere does not not check or monitor ice thickness or ice conditions on Lake Windermere.

Anyone going onto the ice must do so at their own risk.
