In the wake of rescuing two fishers stranded on Lake Winnipeg, the RCMP are reminding Manitobans to be careful and smart when it comes to outdoor activities on ice. On Saturday, Selkirk RCMP worked with Prairie Helicopters Inc. to rescue the pair, while Mounties also responded to a report of a vehicle falling through the ice near Oak Lake. The incidents follow three snowmobiles being completely submerged in the Louise River at Lac du Bonnet on Dec. 13.
