A powerful ice wall pushed ashore by strong northwestern winds caused damage to homes and cottages in Twin Lakes Beach, Manitoba, over the weekend. The ice wall impacted boathouses, cottages, and decks, leaving residents facing significant cleanup and repair costs. While ice walls are not an annual occurrence, they have been a regular concern for residents in the area. The Rural Municipality (RM) of St. Laurent is providing assistance where possible, but many residents may be facing uninsured losses.
