DROWNING PREVENTION WEEK - JULY 21-27 2019
Drowning
is Preventable-
Approximately 500 Canadians die in preventable water-related
incidents annually. Even one drowning is one too many.
Watch me, not your phone-
Always directly supervise children around the water - if
you’re not within arms’ reach, you’ve
gone too far.
Be Boat Smart - Wear a Lifejacket- Choose It. Use It. Always
wear a lifejacket or PFD when in a boat.
Learn to Swim to Survive-
In most drownings, the victim never intended to go in the
water and was often close to safety – could you survive
a sudden and unexpected fall into the water?
Swim with a buddy-
Make smart choices before going into or out on the water.
Know your limits-
Alcohol consumption is a factor in almost 40% of boating-related
fatalities. Both alcohol and cannabis use impairs judgment,
reflexes and balance. Stay sober when in, on or around the
water.
Be Water Smart all year round-
You can save a life, yours and someone else’s. Take
a learn-to-swim, lifesaving or first aid class today. Life

21, 2019 -INVASIVE
SPECIES VEHICLE INSPECTIONS
If
you are transporting a watercraft in B.C. it is mandatory
to stop and report to all invasive mussel watercraft inspection
stations along your travel route. Watercraft includes sailboats,
motorboats, car toppers, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards
being transported in B.C. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service
has a team of specialized inspectors checking and if necessary
decontaminating watercraft being transported into B.C.
Inspectors are trained in watercraft inspection and decontamination
following the standard protocol that is used across the Pacific
Northwest. All watercraft owners coming through watercraft
inspection stations are asked a series of questions by the
inspectors to determine if the watercraft is high or low risk.
Two key questions asked by inspectors to determine watercraft
risk are:
Where was the watercraft in the last 30 days?
How long has the watercraft been out of the water?
Fines for Failing to Stop Under Provincial legislation, all
watercraft entering B.C. and passing by an open inspection
station must report in. Failure to stop at an open inspection
station could result in a $345 fine. In 2018, 82 tickets and
50 warnings were issued by Conservation Officers to motorists
for failing to stop at inspection stations. Watercraft operators
who fail to stop at an inspection station are being reported
to the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline and
full time Conservation Officers are responding and following
up. The program will be stepping up enforcement at the inspection
stations during the 2019 season. |
