OPP Asking Boaters To Wear A Life Jacket

A pair of recent drownings in the Rainy River district has prompted Provincial Police across the region to issue a warning about the importance of wearing a life jacket.
Constable Jim Davis says while the law requires each person aboard a vessel to have a life jacket, they should take the step to wear it.
Davis says in the recent drownings, victims were either not wearing a life jacket or wearing it incorrectly.
The fine for not having a life jacket or personal flotation device is $200.
