Drowning doesn’t usually involve yelling, waving, or dramatic splashing. More often, it’s quiet, quick, and easy to miss.

If you’re heading to the lake, river, or pool this long weekend, take a minute to watch this important reminder.

🌊 Stay within arm’s reach of young children
🦺 Wear a properly fitted life jacket
👀 Keep your eyes on the water not your phone
💧 And with temperatures expected to reach 39°C tomorrow, don’t forget to drink plenty of water and take breaks from the heat

⚠️ Did you know wearing a paddleboard leash on your ankle or leg can be fatal on fast-moving water?

It might seem surprising, but an ankle leash can become caught on rocks, logs, bridge piers, or other underwater hazards. In a strong current, that can hold a paddler underwater.

Here's what you need to know before heading out on the river:

🦺 Always wear a Canadian-approved life jacket.

🚫 Skip the standard ankle leash on fast-moving water. Ankle leashes are designed for calm, flat water like lakes.

⚠️ If experienced river paddlers choose to use a leash in moving water, it should be a waist-mounted, quick-release leash specifically designed for river use.

Did you know has free life jacket 💦 loaner stations?

If you don’t have a lifejacket or forgot yours at home, we’ve got you covered. Life Jacket loaner stations are located throughout the city making it easy to borrow one before heading out on the water.

Whether you’re boating, paddling, kayaking, canoeing, or swimming, wearing a properly fitted lifejacket is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and your loved ones.
