We may be halfway through summer already but the messaging remains consistent from the OPP Marine Unit.
The OPP Marine Unit has a message for everyone enjoying the water this summer season, and it’s one you’ve heard many times before: prepare for the worst once you’re out there.
Sgt. Dave Moffatt says that means thinking of all possible scenarios you may encounter.
Moffatt also stressed the importance of wearing life jackets, because they often mean the difference between life and death during emergencies.
Moffatt says an invaluable resource is the safe boating guide from Transport Canada that provides an outline of all the equipment you should have on your vessel and how to prepare for emergencies.
