Water Safety

You drink it, wash yourself with it, and swim in it. In the winter time, you skate on it. You probably don't think much about it. But imagine all the things you couldn't do without water!

Because water is so much fun, it's easy to forget that it can also be a dangerous thing. For instance, did you know that as many as 550 water-related deaths occur in Canada each year? Some of these deaths have even happened in very shallow water.

By following a few simple steps, you can keep water activities safe and fun. Check out the Swimming page for great ideas on how to stay safe in the pool or the lake. Or glide on over to the Ice Safety section, and get some cool tips on avoiding mishaps.

Well, what are you waiting for? Come on in - the water's great!
