With fresh snow on the ground the City has lifted the "no sledding advisory" for sanctioned sledding hills. A reminder that everyone should take safety precautions, including observing hill conditions and wearing a CSA-certified helmet.
Sled
only at hills designated for sledding. While other hills and large
snowbanks are enticing to sledders, they possess hazards that could
cause injuries. In addition, some non-sanctioned hills may have
protective measures, but these do not make them safe sledding areas. The
City has a list of its sanctioned sledding hills on ottawa.ca.
Always
pay attention to the conditions on the hill. Packed snow,
precipitation and fluctuations in temperature can create icy conditions
on the hill, resulting in increased speeds and reduced ability to
control and stop your sled safely. Sledding is a high-risk activity.
Sled at your own risk.
