Manager of Marketing and Communications at The Forks, Chelsea Thomson said as soon as weather cooperates, the ice will re-open.
“It’s not a matter of ice thickness, so as soon the temperatures drop, we could re-open,” said Thomson.
No official date is being set for when the ice will open again.
Temperatures could dip below the freezing mark as soon as Monday. Saturday’s high in Winnipeg is 2 C, and Sunday’s high is 2 C.
