FORT WILLIAM FIRST NATION — Fort William First Nation’s Employment and Training and Family Program staff held an Ice Safety presentation by Nishnawbe Aski Police Service Constable Mason Morriseau on Jan. 13 at the Fort William First Nation Community Centre.
“Whenever you go on the ice, you want to make sure that you have somebody with you because if you fall in the (water) you want somebody to go and get help,” says Morriseau, a Fort William citizen. “When you go on the ice, you want to tell somebody or bring an adult with you before you go on the ice so that somebody knows that you’re going.”
Morriseau says they recommend that parents put a lifejacket on their children if they are going on the ice.
