Due to the current water situation in Calgary, the Glenmore Reservoir will experience higher than usual level fluctuations for this time of year This results in unsafe ice conditions Remember: ⚠️ Reservoirs are not Lakes 💧Water flows in and out 💧Ice forms unevenly 💧Levels rise and fall 💧Cracks occur
