After a few weeks of warmer weather in southern Alberta, the RCMP is asking people to stay off of the ice.
On Sunday, March 9, Nanton RCMP says it was called to the Chain Lakes Reservoir, approximately 43 kilometres west of Nanton.
An ice fishing structure had broken through the ice on the lake and several people were seen trying to get it out.
“Nanton RCMP would like to remind the community that entry onto the lake ice at this time of year could be potentially dangerous and checking ice conditions is recommended,” reads a media release from Nanton RCMP.
