Day 2021
Did you know that 35% of drowning related

for clean up and removal of any environmental hazards
caused by their vessel being wrecked or damaged. Link

July 21-27, 2019 - NATIONAL 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 Saving Society |

July 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. |

April 4, 2019 - Pleasure Craft License
Many people fail to take advantage of licensing
their Pleasure Craft in Canada. The Small Vessel Regulations
require Pleasure Craft with engine power of 10 hp. (7.5
kW) or greater, to obtain a Vessel License. However, any

Craft License for their vessel. The benefits to the boat
operator is having their vessel and contact details accessible
to Search and Rescue personnel. The ability to contact
the holder of the vessel license for a vessel located
adrift or wrecked, can mean the difference between an
efficient and successful search and rescue operation and

is at risk. Keep your Vessel License details up to date
to ensure Search and Rescue personnel can contact you
quickly in the event of an incident. Pleasure Craft License
