Water Smart® Public Education

Every year in Canada there are between 450 and 500 fatal drownings, but most drownings are preventable. Learn how to be Water Smart® whenever you’re in, on, or around water!

Water Smart® is the Lifesaving Society’s public education initiative with the objective of making all Manitobans safe around water. Water Smart® delivers personal lifesaving education messages designed to modify high-risk behaviour and increase awareness of the responsibility individuals assume for themselves and others when in, on, or near the water.

Read their Public Education Guide for some Water Smart® ideas.
