St. John Ambulance Water Patrol

It’s officially the end of our season. We are happy to report everyone had a safe summer. See you next year 👋🌊🚨

The days are getting shorter as we near the end of our season 🌅 Our last day on the water is September 7th. Until then, we are still out everyday from 11am-8pm ensuring everyone is safe 👍🌊🚨

This is your daily reminder to wear a lifejacket when you’re boating 🚨🌊 We also wanted to show off our new waterproof bag for all of our personal protective equipment! When we stay safe, we can better help you 😊

The calm after the storm 🌈 We have had a very stormy week ⛈ Always make sure you have a marine radio on your boat to listen if any storms are coming, so that you can head back to shore 👍

We think this program is an amazing thing to offer for children in school. Learning to swim is a LIFE SKILL, and the #1 way to prevent drownings.

Did you know 80% of victims in boating-related drownings were not wearing their lifejacket? Wearing a lifejacket is the most effective way to prevent boating-related drownings in Canada.
