The Canadian Coast Guard is conducting ice-breaking operations in and around the Midland area today.
It says the CCGS Griffon will be breaking up the ice to allow commercial vessels safe and efficient movement.
Pedestrians, fishers, and residents are being asked to leave the ice during the operations since it may move, creating a real danger for anyone on it.
