Winter Safety

Parks Canada reminds you to be careful when visiting the banks of the Saint-Ours Canal during winter. Snow-covered surfaces can be slippery.

To help you enjoy your visit in complete safety and avoid any incidents, here are a few tips to follow:

• The use of shoes adapted to winter conditions can help to reduce the risk of falling.
• Avoid crossing railings and keep at a safe distance from the canal walls to avoid slipping.
• For safety reasons, it is forbidden to venture onto the ice that forms on the surface of the water in winter and to skate on it.
