Local resident and photographer Carla Lewis captured this awesome photo of her son playing hockey after Burns Lake froze recently. With no snow yet the lake was a perfect skating rink. According to the Canadian Red Cross, ice thickness should be a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) for skating, walking or ice fishing in small groups; 20 cm (7.8 inches) for larger groups such as skating parties or games; and 25 cm (9.8 inches) for snowmobiles.
