It’s a scorcher out there and maybe you’re thinking of getting out in the water for boating or swimming. But before you do, the Canadian Red Cross is reminding you to wear it – your lifejacket, that is.
It's National Water Safety Week so the Red Cross teamed up with the Toronto Police Marine Unit to do a special video from a police boat. We asked journalist Amber Mac and her two-year-old son, Conner, to join us and help share important safety messages about what we can all do to ensure our children are safe when near water.
The reality is that drowning is one of the leading causes of unintentional death for Canadian children ages one to four.
So what can you do to keep you and your family safe?
