Winnipeg Police Service News Release

BOATING PROHIBITION LIFTED-UPDATE
The Winnipeg Police Service River Patrol Section has lifted the boating prohibition that was issued in mid-April.
 
While flows on the Red have been dropping, flows remain very high on the Assiniboine and will likely remain high for the next three to four weeks.  The high flows and their associated strong currents will create unsafe boating conditions for the majority of boaters.  Use of the rivers is not recommended at this time.

All City of Winnipeg boat launches remain closed due to high water levels.  Therefore, while the boating prohibition has been lifted, the River Patrol Section does not recommend boating at this time.
