Last winter the City received a number of complaints from residents regarding adults and children wandering out onto the ice bank along the lakeshore.
Beach Rescue and Hamilton Police do train for this problem every year just in case someone does fall into the lake or harbour and we do have a few threads on the site concerning the ice banks, as well ice on the Bay. Also, many of you may remember many of Spec articles over the years reporting people (mostly children) falling into the lake or stuck out on the lake, all from playing on the ice banks. Some know very well first hand.
The City will be installing some new signage along to Path to warn residents and visitors of the dangers of travelling out onto the ice banks.
