After a dubious record year of boating fatalities in 2017, Ontario Provincial Police and the Canadian Safe Boating Council are redoubling their calls urging boaters to wear a life jacket or flotation device.
Boating-related deaths hit an eight-year high in 2017 with 31 people losing their lives, up from 23 the year before.
And more than three-quarters of the victims over the two years, 42 out of 54, were not wearing, or not properly wearing a flotation device.
Simply falling overboard remains the lead contributor in boating deaths.
With Safe Boating Week launching Saturday, the OPP and the boating council issue the following tips:
Wear a personal floatation device or lifejacket
Don’t operate any watercraft while impaired
Obtain proper licensing
Ensure you have all the required safety equipment
Ensure your watercraft is water ready
Be wary of the dangers of cold water immersion (especially this time of year)
