With boating season about to be in full swing, the OPP are reminding everyone the importance of safety while out on the water. Life jackets are an important safety precaution when it comes to boating and the OPP are finding fewer and fewer people wearing them.
OPP Media Relations Officer Adam Crewdson says while people may have the proper life jackets on board, they are not always readily available in the case of an emergency.
Crewdson says that while it is not required for people of all ages to wear life jackets while on boats, it is highly recommended as a safety precaution
