As we recognize Safe Boating Awareness Week, we’re proud to highlight the Prince Rupert Marine Rescue Society’s Kids Don’t Float program, which provides free, temporary access to lifejackets, also known as Personal floatation Devices (PFDs), for children aged six months to 16 years. This volunteer-driven initiative operates on an honour system and helps families stay safe while enjoying the water.
Kids Don’t Float stations are located at:
📍 Cow Bay Breakwater
📍 Rushbrook Pier
📍 Port Edward Docks
📍 Port Edward Public Boat Launch
Thank you to Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue - Station 64 Prince Rupert and Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue for working to keep kids safe while out on the water. 🚤🦺
