Stormwater pond safety

The City reminds residents where to skate safely this winter
  
With the winter season underway, ponds are beginning to freeze. The City of Vaughan is reminding citizens that stormwater management ponds are not designed or intended for recreational use such as skating or sledding – no activities on the ice are safe.
 
The City maintains more than 150 stormwater ponds – human-made infrastructure built to gather rainfall and surface water runoff.
