The Canadian Safe Boating Council has announced Safe Boating Awareness Week in Canada is happening May 21-27, 2022, reports Boating Industry Canada. As various water recreation spots are opening up throughout the country, the council is helping boaters stay safe on the water. Since 1995 Safe Boating Awareness Week has been a central part of boating safety for Canada’s 16 million people who recreate on the water.
As the season starts to open up, boaters should be aware of fewer boaters on the water, meaning help might be farther away than expected. This year’s Safe Boating Awareness Week focuses on five key messages to help boaters stay safe on the water and prevent extra strain from being put on rescue services.
- Wear Your Life Jacket
- Boat Sober
- Take a Boating Course
- Be Prepared
- Be Cold Water Safe
