Stay Clear, Stay Safe This Family Day Weekend
Don't Get Caught on Thin Ice
TORONTO, Feb. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is reminding families to play it safe this Family Day long weekend.
"Our message is simple. Stay Clear. Stay Safe," says Mike Martelli, President, Renewable Generation and Power Marketing. "Winter activities around hydroelectric stations may seem like a good idea but these are restricted areas any time of the year, so if you're outdoors this winter you need to stay away from our facilities. "
"OPG's stations and dams are clearly marked with warning signs and barriers are in place to prevent access. This winter has seen a wide range of temperature fluctuations and thinner than normal ice in many areas, which means people need to take extra precautions on lakes and rivers wherever they happen to be," he added.
