Winter Safety

Parks Canada wishes to remind users to be cautious at all times when using the banks of the Lachine Canal in the winter, as the snow-covered surfaces can be slippery.

To find out which section of the trail will be cleared of snow, please visit the Winter Trails page.

• The use of shoes adapted to winter conditions can help to reduce the risk of falling.
• Avoid crossing railings and keep at a safe distance from the canal walls to avoid slipping.
• For safety reasons, it is forbidden to venture on the ice that forms on the Lachine Canal in winter and to practice ice skating.
