Anglers are reminded that all ice fishing shelters south of Highway 16 must be removed by Monday.  Shelters in areas north of Highway 16 must be removed by March 31.

The province says that every year, ice fishing shelters are abandoned on the ice. When the ice melts, these can pose a danger to boaters, water-skiers and others enjoying our lakes.
Structures must be moved to a location where they can be loaded and transported to the owner’s residence or property. Litter must also be removed.

If shelters are not removed, owners may be prosecuted and the structure and contents may be moved off the ice and confiscated.
