Trout Lake, Vancouver

One of the lake which freezes in the winter in Vancouver is the Trout Lake. Dipping temperatures slowly freeze out the entire lake and it is supposed to become ideal for skating and walking by February. But this year Vancouver Park Board had informed the citizens that bodies of water in Vancouver, Trout Lake included, were “nowhere close to ready for pond skating”. It was not really a welcome news for the residents as exactly that time last year people could already skate and walk around on it. But that did not discourage people to go out and hang around the lake. People even took their pets along but forgot to take the Board’s warning seriously and that proved unfortunate for some.
