Water safety is always a concern when operating a water craft. 

"Everybody is out enjoying the nice hot weather so we want to make sure that number one, you take some sort of a boating course to make sure that you are familiar with all the safety operations and to safely operate any sort of water craft, now tat goes right down to kayaks and paddle boats as well so you always want to make sure that you have a personal flotation device available and please do not drink and boat, it is so different than operating a vehicle. The Department of National Resources crews are going to be out there checking for that as well," explained Estevans Fire Chief Dale Feser. 

"Should you find yourself in distress, please try to flag down another boater if you don't have a cellphone, and call that in so we can get out and assist whenever possible."
