Boating Safety Tips available in 33 languages
In an effort to reach out to Canadians whose first language is not English, the Lifesaving Society and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) teamed up to produce a tip sheet of ten boating safety tips available in 33 languages. Printer friendly PDF versions are listed below.
This tip sheet addresses the ethnic media's desire for multilingual safety tips and is available for broadcast media to use in their news segments. We encourage all print media, community groups and boating safety organizations to distribute the tip sheet at community events, use it in their newsletters and share it with their members.
Materials translated into the First Nations languages are available to the First Nations community and groups who promote boating safety including the Canadian Rangers.
OPG generously donated the funds to translate the tips and DRAFTFCB donated the design and production costs. These tip sheets are also available at www.smartboater.ca and www.opg.com. |
Warm sunny days make us appreciate why we live in this beautiful part of Canada and having fun around the water is a great way to spend those days. School classes, community groups and family gatherings often take place around the water and a safe approach will ensure that the day
ends in fun, not tragedy.
Here are a few safety tips to help make sure your next water experience is a good one. A must read for pool owners, group organizers and lifeguards doing private functions.
Did you know...
Old lifejackets/PFD’s may not keep you afloat, as the materials weaken over time and snaps, ties, zippers and buckles break. Inspect your floatation device for wear and tear, and if in doubt, throw it out!
