Police in London, Ont., say a boating ban is now in effect for all portions of the Thames River within the City of London due to hazardous water levels.
The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority issued a bulletin at roughly 7 a.m. Monday stating that the river within the city had reached boating ban levels and that police could implement one.
The ban was issued by police at roughly 9 a.m. and police said the ban will “remain in place until river levels have receded to safer levels.”
