A warning sign about thin ice seemed to do little to stop people from venturing onto Lake Louise鈥檚 frozen surface, May 1.
According to Parks Canada, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise places the sign at the mouth of the Louise Creek each year because the outflow creates open water year round and thin ice near the lakeshore boardwalk.
Tania Peters, 鈥╝ communications officer with Parks, said visitor safety is of the utmost importance to Parks Canada and people who venture onto the ice do so at their own risk.
