Ice Road Open; Funds Needed For Maintenance

A call is being made to those who use the ice road in Dryden.
The road is open once again after three ice shack owners decided to take the reigns and maintain the area.
Neil McLeod is involved and says they realized that the road is important to the community and must stay open.
Bob Skene came forward with his loader to clear the road.
The issue is maintaining the road financially.
McLeod is asking users to contribute some money to help keep the road maintained and open for the rest of the winter.
He says they are hoping to collect enough to provide weekly maintenance or whatever is needed to keep the loader on the ice.
To donate visit McLeod Chiropractic on Highway 17 or call 223-8833.
Motorists are still urged to use caution on the road as some spots are narrow with slushy areas.
