Safety In, On and Around Water

Kids love water...the attraction is obvious! What might not be as obvious is the fact that drowning is the #2 cause of death among children in Canada.

 

In most cases, children who drowned were not properly supervised.

 
If children are in, near or around water, whether it is deep, shallow, running or still, they require the proper supervision, protection and preparation.
