Winter Safety

Saint-Ours Canal National Historic Site

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

  • 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.
