Because of differing thaw rates,
the province has been divided into two zones.

  • Zone #1
    means the Province of Manitoba south of the line that includes PTH #77, going easterly to include PR #513 (Gypsumville) and the northern tip of Black Island, following the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg to the north shore of the Winnipeg River, easterly along the north shore of the Winnipeg River to PR 304 and easterly to the Ontario border.

  • Zone #2
    means the Province of Manitoba
    north of Zone #1.
