It’s officially boating season in Ontario.
The May long weekend has come and gone, and many people have brought out their boats for the first time.
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt says, sadly, many lives were lost out on the water last year – many of them avoidable.
In short, Schmidt says their message is clear: life jackets safe lives.
Also important to note that if you’re operating a vessel, you’re also responsible for there being enough life jackets for everyone on board – failure to do so could result in a steep fine.
