Dating safely
Most people you meet are exactly who they say. These habits protect you from the few who aren’t.
Report romance scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre
If someone you met online asks for money, gift cards or crypto, stop contact and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, and to the RCMP or your local police. You can also report the profile to us, and a person will review it.
Check the roads before a winter drive
Driving to a date in winter can mean snow, ice and long empty stretches. Check road conditions on manitoba511.ca or the Manitoba 511 app before you leave, and tell someone your route.

Be careful on the ice
Ice fishing and skating dates are fun, but no ice is ever completely safe. Measure clear hard ice in several places, never go out alone or at night, wear a floater suit or lifejacket, and stay well away from hydro generating stations.
