Icebreaking operations took place in Owen Sound this morning.
The CCGS Griffon Icebreaker was finished the job by 8 this morning.
Many expected the Coast Guard’s icebreaker to be in Owen Sound last week, but the operations were delayed.
In a release, the Coast guard warns the ice will remain unstable after the icebreaker has left the area.
Coast Guard icebreaking service on the Great Lakes and connecting waterways is delivered in cooperation
between the Canadian and United States Coast Guards to ensure scheduled vessel traffic can move through the shipping channels and into and out of community harbours.
