Cumberland-Masson-Angers ferry reopens after ice-forced closure

In what operator Traversier Bourbonnais called a “very rare” event, the ferry between Cumberland, Ont., and Masson-Angers, Que., temporarily closed Sunday due to ice on the Ottawa River.
Usually operating around-the-clock and year-round, the service closed at about 8 a.m. Sunday.
By 4 p.m., it had reopened.
The ferry shut down for several days in February 2008 due to ice conditions but never this early in the winter season.
“At this time of year, we’ve never closed,&rdquo
