If you plan on celebrating the upcoming long weekend on the water, Ontario Power Generation is urging caution.
Officials say water levels and flows near hydro stations and dams may look safe, but they can change into rapidly flowing waters with dangerous currents.
They’re asking people to ‘stay clear to stay safe’, by obeying warning signs and maintaining distance from booms, buoys, and barriers marking the danger zone.
OPG operates 66 hydroelectric stations and 240 dams on 24 Ontario river systems, including several in our area.
