MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS Ice is created at the St. Boniface ice climbing tower on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. The system needs to be checked three times a day while running, and it usually takes about two weeks to create the finished tower. Temperatures need to be below -15C to build up ice, so these folks may be one of the few not looking forward to the warmer days forecasted ahead. Standup. Winnipeg Free Press 2025
