If you’re hoping for one last snowmobile ride in cottage country this weekend, police have a warning for you: no ice is safe ice.
“The risk is very high right now,” says Sgt. Steve Black with South Simcoe Police. “The ice is not safe at all.”
Twice in the last two weeks they’ve responded to snowmobiles going through the ice on the Holland River, north of Toronto. Nobody was hurt and it appears everyone walked home, leaving their machines in the water. But first responders still had to come out and investigate, meaning the possibility of a water rescue put their lives at risk.

I’ve been called a lot of things, but never a Schitt-Head. At least not with that spelling.
But I am a good Canadian, despite not having watched every (okay,
any) episode of the beloved
Schitt’s Creek comedy series that recently cleaned up at the Emmys.
So I’m here to make amends in the form of a) watching the show; and b) making a pilgrimage to Goodwood, Ontario – the unlikely crossroads with a scattering of buildings and a population of 663 that, just north of Toronto, was where the antics of the Rose family (played by Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, Annie Murphy, and Catharine O’Hara) won the hearts of millions. I’m also going to swing by Mono (near Orangeville) to check out the classic motel that starred as the Rosebud Motel.
