Ice closes Cumberland-Masson-Angers ferry

In what operator Traversier Bourbonnais calls a “very rare” event, the ferry between Cumberland, Ontario and Masson-Angers, Quebec closed Sunday morning due to ice on the Ottawa River.
Usually operating around-the-clock and year-round, the service closed at about 8 a.m. Sunday but hopes to reopen by late Sunday afternoon, Elaine Hayes said from its Gatineau headquarters.
The ferry shut down for several days in February 2008 due to ice conditions but never this early in the winter sea
