Here’s our team in Edmonton helping spread the word! This year 166 people will drown while boating.

Always wear your lifejacket and make every outing a return trip. Of those who drown, 88% are not wearing, or are not properly wearing a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD). Boaters feel safe just having a lifejacket nearby. But when something goes wrong, you won’t have time to put it on. A lifejacket can save your life – but only if you wear it. Just like our Edmonton team.
