🔥KNOWLEDGE IS POWERFUL 🔥

National Drowning Prevention Week (NDPW)
Takes place from July 19 to July 25, 2026, designated by the Lifesaving Society to focus on water safety, planning ahead, and building survival skills. The core theme for 2026 was "Prepare to be Water Smart," coinciding with World Drowning Prevention Day on July 25. Over 400 Canadians lose their lives to preventable water incidents annually.

Key Water Safety Focus Areas

Supervision: Watch children closely, as drowning is quick and often silent.

Lifejackets: Always wear properly fitted personal flotation devices (PFDs) while boating or paddling.

Sobriety: Avoid using alcohol or drugs while participating in aquatic or boating activities.

Open Water Caution: Exercise extra vigilance in natural bodies of water like lakes and rivers, where the majority of drownings occur.

🔥 WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NOW 🔥
COMING SOON
ST JOHNS FIRST AID CPR COURSES

I've had a few people asking me what are doing this winter after canoe course season is over and I've responded with definitely not plowing snow again 🛶

Well I've been trying to keep it a secret but here's the plan while constantly and consistently upgrading my own personal canoe skills.

The final piece to my master plan is i will be doing the 40hr 5 day St John's First Aid CPR Instructor course very soon allowing me to run Certification in St John's First Aid and CPR over the winter and my down times from canoe season🔥

A awesome additional course that will be added to the current FARR-OUT ADVENTURES curriculum 🔥

This weekend I had the opportunity to complete the Orcka Levels 1, 2 & 3 Canoe Skills courses with Mike from FARR - OUT Adventures —and what an incredible experience!

I went into the weekend hoping to become a better paddler, but I came away with so much more. Mike is an outstanding instructor whose passion, patience, and knowledge made every lesson enjoyable and confidence-building.

Whether you're completely new to canoeing or looking to improve your skills, I can't recommend FARR - OUT Adventures enough. It's amazing to have businesses like this right here in our community, helping people safely enjoy Ontario's beautiful waterways.

A huge thank you to Mike for an unforgettable weekend—I can't wait to get out on the water and put these new skills to good use!

🚣 Here's to many more adventures!
