The problem with many of the suggestions is that section 263 of the Criminal Code does not provide for a due diligence defense. Regardless of the precautions, warnings or barriers implemented, if someone falls into the hole and dies those who created the hole (ACA) are guilty of manslaughter. Even if he or she does not die but suffers personal or property damage despite all your precautions those causing the hole in the ice are subject to possible criminal charges.
This has implications too for tiger trout stocking. Fisheries cannot reasonably stock tiger trout in Muir, Beaver, Ironside and Kerbe's as planned i those lakes will not now be aerated.
