Residents in Beausejour, Manitoba, should expect icy travel conditions through Friday morning due to a freezing drizzle advisory. The alert, issued by Environment Canada, warns that a thin layer of ice is forming on roads and sidewalks across the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead.

The weather event began on Thursday afternoon, March 5, 2026, and is expected to last until the morning of Friday, March 6, 2026. This type of weather often creates invisible layers of ice that make it hard for people to see where surfaces are slippery.

Officials are asking drivers in the area, including Garson, to slow down and use their vehicle lights to stay safe. Because the ice increases the risk of crashes and falls, people should leave early to allow for extra travel time during the morning commute.

The conditions are especially important for school bus operators and pedestrians to keep in mind. Walking or driving on these surfaces requires extra care until the drizzle stops later in the morning.
