Icebreaker Working Through Seaway in Kahnawà:ke Today
Written by Paul Graif on 18 March 2022
Icebreaking operations are now getting underway in Kahnawà:ke on the St. Lawrence Seaway.
“The Icebreaker is scheduled sometime today to come through Kahnawà:ke and it’s very important for community members to realize that once it goes through the ice will become unstable especially in the Bay area,” said Atiesa Foot, the Emergency Management Technician Officer with the Public Safety Division. “We are requesting that Kahnawà:keron:non refrain from going out on the ice.”
The icebreaker, which is in St Lambert now (11:30 am), travels very quickly during its operation. The Hovercraft icebreaking vessel is currently working in Chateauguay.
The Seaway is scheduled to begin full operation next Thursday.
