An abandoned boat in Humber Bay Park become the centre of discussion on the long weekend after it started to sink. Members of the Humber Bay Shores Discussion Facebook group raised concerns about the boat leaking fluids into the lake.
Crews arrived the morning of Feb. 13, and the boat was hauled out of the water with a large crane. Definitely a complex operation, one person, who was watching the boat removal, posted. Pumping water onto the ice to thaw the boat out, swimming around it to put the straps in place. Lifting of the boat will have to be gradual because of the weight.

An abandoned boat left to freeze in Lake Ontario angered some Toronto residents at Humber Bay Park this month.
The boat is tied to a public dock and appears to be damaged, likely due to recent frigid temperatures.
It was sinking last week, according to a post in the Humber Bay Shores Discussion Facebook group. People noticed the boat had been tied to public moorings over the last few months.
