<p>With the new blanket of snow, the City has lifted the “no sledding advisory” on its sanctioned sledding hills. Everyone should take safety precautions, including observing hill conditions and wearing a helmet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sled only at hills designated for sledding. While other hills and large snowbanks are enticing to sledders, they possess hazards that could cause injuries. In addition, some non-sanctioned hills may have protective measures, but these do not make them safe sledding areas. The City has a list of its <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/recreation-and-parks/sports-fields-and-outdoor-recreation#sledding-hills-1">sanctioned sledding hills</a> on ottawa.ca.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Always wear a CSA-certified helmet to protect yourself. In addition, allow safe spacing – around 15 metres &#8212; between you and the other sleds going down the hill.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additional safety tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>Children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian</li>
<li>Sled only during daylight. If you are out at night, don’t slide unless the hill is well lit</li>
<li>Always sit or kneel facing forward on the sled</li>
<li>Walk up the side of the hill, not the middle</li>
<li>Keep your hands, arms and legs inside the sled to prevent injury</li>
<li>Alert (shout) if you observe another slider headed for danger</li>
<li>Do not leave sleds or other obstacles on the hill</li>
<li>Construction of snow jumps and other obstacles is not permitted</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Please always pay attention to the conditions on the hill. Packed snow, precipitation and fluctuations in temperature can create icy conditions on the hill, resulting in increased speeds and reduced ability to control and stop your sled safely.. Sledding is a high-risk activity. Sled at your own risk.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>Mise à jour sur les conditions de glisse et conseils de sécurité</strong></h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>En raison de la nouvelle couche de neige, la Ville a levé l’avis déconseillant l’utilisation des pentes de glissade autorisées. Néanmoins, tout le monde doit prendre les précautions nécessaires, notamment observer les conditions de glisse et porter un casque.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ne faites de la luge que sur les pentes désignées comme sites de glissade. Les autres collines et grands bancs de neige peuvent être attirants, mais ces derniers présentent tout de même des dangers risquant de causer des blessures. De plus, même si des mesures de sécurité sont en place sur certaines collines où la luge n’est pas autorisée, ces zones ne constituent pas pour autant des aires de luge sécurisées. La Ville a publié une liste des <a href="https://ottawa.ca/fr/loisir-et-parcs/terrains-de-sport-et-loisirs-en-plein-air">pentes de glissade autorisées</a> sur le site ottawa.ca.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pour vous protéger, portez toujours un casque certifié CSA. Lorsque vous descendez la pente, veuillez également garder une distance sécuritaire (environ 15 mètres) entre vous et les autres lugeurs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Conseils de sécurité supplémentaires :</p>
<ul>
<li>Les enfants doivent être accompagnés d’un parent ou d’un tuteur.</li>
<li>Glissez de jour seulement. Si vous vous rendez sur un site de glissade le soir, optez pour une pente bien éclairée.</li>
<li>Restez assis, ou agenouillez‑vous sur la luge de manière à voir devant vous.</li>
<li>Remontez la pente en marchant sur le côté de celle‑ci, et non au milieu.</li>
<li>Gardez les mains, les bras et les jambes à l’intérieur de la luge pour prévenir les blessures.</li>
<li>Alertez (en criant) toute personne qui court un danger.</li>
<li>Ne laissez pas de luges ou d’autres obstacles sur la pente.</li>
<li>La construction de buttes pour le saut est interdite.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Veuillez toujours porter attention aux conditions de glisse. La neige tassée, les précipitations et les changements de température peuvent rendre les pistes verglacées, ce qui accroît la vitesse des luges et les rend plus difficiles à manœuvrer et à arrêter en toute sécurité. La glissade est une activité à risque élevé qui se fait à vos risques et périls.</p>

<p>Due to hazardous conditions, the City of Ottawa advises residents against sledding on all municipal property at this time, including on sledding hills approved by the City. Recent weather trends have created icy conditions, which increase speed and decrease the ability to control and stop sleds safely. An announcement will be made after more snow falls and conditions improve.</p>

<h2>Avis déconseillant l’utilisation des pentes de glissade autorisées en raison de la présence de glace</h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Ottawa </strong>– En raison de la présence de glace, la Ville d’Ottawa demande aux résidents de s’abstenir pour le moment d’aller glisser sur ses terrains, y compris sur les pentes de glissade autorisées. Les tendances météorologiques des derniers jours ont engendré la formation de glace sur les pentes, ce qui accroît la vitesse des traîneaux et les rend plus difficiles à manœuvrer, et à arrêter, de façon sécuritaire. Une annonce sera effectuée lorsqu’une chute de neige aura permis d’améliorer les conditions.</p>
