⚠️⚠️Caution⚠️⚠️ Given the weather conditions overnight and throughout tomorrow (Sunday) please keep a safe distance between you and the coastline! A picture may be worth a 1000 words, but it certainly isn’t worth your health and safety!

This is your reminder to stay at a very safe distance from any beach if you’re going to view the waves tomorrow. In situations like this water levels will rise rapidly with no warning. #NLwx

We would like to take this opportunity to remind those who are taking in outdoor activities, especially over the next few days to be AdventureSmart and remember the 3Ts. It is never an easy decision, but perhaps sometimes, it is best to pick another trail or wait for another day.
