Ice Safety Hotline for HRM

490-3577

* new number thanks to ingress

 

we're sorry, the number you have reached is not in service.

 

Hotline 1...... Boots 0

 

That was right out of the daily news

 

see:

 

ok, you are off the hook.. but its still funny that it doesnt work... some system

 

wonder how many letters the editor got already...

 

thats funny... you have ONE telephone number to be sure that works when you make that article.. and you cant even do that right...

 

did this situation get resolved yet?

 

With the cold weather we have been having, I would assume the lakes are safe.

 

I checked the paper for an updated number... nothin!

 

From http://visitors.halifax.ca/nature-outdoors-results.shtml?outdoorsubcategory_FK=1:

Weather permitting, there are excellent natural ice surfaces on many of the area lakes. The municipality is not responsible for clearing snow off the ice. For information on ice thickness on lakes, call 425-2255, ext. 5253.

But I just called this number, and was told this service is no longer available.

 

490-3577!
