National Safe Boating Awareness Week will kick off in Vancouver this Thursday, May 16, with an event at Granville Island that will help boaters, recreational water users and paddlers stay safe on local waterways. The free event will give those planning to hit the water this year the opportunity to tour response vessels and talk first-hand to marine responders about best practices and safety.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is partnering with the Canadian Safe Boating Council to host this year’s inaugural safe boating event.
