One of the highest priorities for boating safety is the wearing of a lifejacket. Of the more than 200 drownings from boating accidents each year in Canada, more than 80 per Fem of the victims were not wearing lifejackets. While the law requires that there must be a lifejacket or eushion of the type approved by the Ministry of Transport for every person in a boat, w:um to ignore it. wary. Some don‘t In its Safe Boating Week campaign the Canada Safety Council focuses attention of boat operators on recomâ€" mended procedures for boating all season. Watercraft deaths or accidents each year result almost entirely from various kinds of human failure â€" from conscious refusal to obey laws to pathetic ignorance of boat operating practices. With their black silk jackets stitched in green, matching helmets and 20 shiny new motorcycles, this group of 14 young instructors â€" all Ottawa students â€" are touring 15 Ontario centres to provide four nights of practical motorcycle safety instruction in each. Sponsored with a $16,620 Opportunities for Youth grant, the aim of Motorcycle Safety Caravan is to keep novice motorcyclists out of hospitals this summer. The roar of motorcycle engines will announce they have arrived. But this is one group of blackâ€"jacketed riders people will be glad to see in town. § The summer sports school day camp is composed of outstanding athletes and physical educators all who are top coaches in a parâ€" ticular sport.

This is the most effective means of preventing water recnéation tragedies. There is need for imâ€" provement in operating, loading, fueling and safety equipment according to Council experts. ‘"The Department of Transport test will be a piece of cake after our course", Minor inconveniences or expenses may be the poor excuse for boat operators or passengers failing to buy or rent lifejackets. Another reason could be the fact that laws are difficult to enforce on the expanses of Canadian rivers and Takes, especially remote ones. The instructors also teach them motorcycle safety, defensive driving and tips on how to buy a new or used motorbike, to ensure they are getting a safe one. By the end of the course, the once novices should be turned into proficient riders. Fourteen of the 16 hours that comprise the course are on the bikes donated to the group by a private company.

June 15, 1972 Showing winning form Operators who carry a sufficient _ number _ of lifejackets in their boats do not always insist that ocâ€" cupants wear them when water conditions warrant. A lifejacket lying in the bottom of a boat is of little help to a nonâ€"swimmer thrown into the water. Children should not only wear lifejackets at all times when in boats or around water but also should be taught how to float in them. Certain Canadian waters are becoming crowded with boats and power boat Power boat operators should pay attention to safe fueling practices. Switches should be turned off and not flipped on during fueling and smoking prohibited _ to prevent explosion or fire. All passengers should be off the Forrester says an analysis of the figures shows loss of life occurred during the first boats. Others who switch from outboards to inboards do not allow for rateâ€"ofâ€"turn differences. Of every 1,000 motorâ€" cyclists in North America, 25 are killed each year. In 1970 in Ontario there were 53 fatalities and an additional 2,526 people injured in motorcycle accidents. says Don Forrester, project organizer. ‘"The exam we put them through is far more demanding." Forrester, an instructor with the Ottawa Carleton Safety Council‘s motorcycle committee, is convinced that motorcycle training is ‘"essential". Statistics prove him right. . which could have prevented the child‘s disappearance in the first place. Fortunately many Canadians do think about water safety, and the story of their summer is funfilled and safe as well. For 26 years the Red Cross Water Safety Service has helped Canadians stay alive with water safety. The rules are simple. But they can help keep your family safe. Supervise and educate your children. If they can‘t swim contact your local Red Cross Water Safety Service and enquire about local swimming programmes. with a 2â€"1 win. The Cougars got on the score sheet quickly but Jamie Nash tied Even if your children do swim, always keep them in sight. If you know where they are and what they‘re doing, you can make sure they play safe. Swim only in supervised areas and at times when the beach is supervised by professional lifeguards. In unfamiliar waters, debris or sudden dropâ€"offs which you can‘t see can hurt you. Equipped with a respect for the water and a thorough knowledge of water safety, you and your family will enjoy the water more. Always swim with a buddy. If trouble should occur, someone will be there to help. So enjoy the water this summer, and stay alive with Red Cross Water Safety. â€" operate an inboard boat without a Class B1 (carbon dioxideâ€"dry chemical) fire extinguisher ; swimmers.

Running lights are required for operation after dark. Humber College recently completed improvements to its air bubble athletic centre at the college‘s north campus.

Boating can provide hours of enjoyment but ‘"‘thought‘"‘ comes before "fun‘‘ if one wants to remove the possibility of accident. his first boat is the greatest threat on water, there are no statistics to prove this. In fact many rural fishermen and hunters have died because they ignored safe boating practices. Accidents have involved persons who have for years spent time on the water. Lack of thought about boat safety is not confined to the city dweller or the new boat operator. In fact an inexperienced "new"‘ boater may be more inclined to read up on recommended procedures. It is necessary to check and review all safety rules affecting boats and boating. Overlooking one small rule or principle can cause a disaster. Forrester has one last word for the wouldâ€"beâ€"rider: "I tell everyone to wear rugged clothing. Novice riders are bound to make a few mistakes the first few times." who have taken the safety training course in the past five years. The caravan started its 15â€" city tour in Toronto on May 29.
