Lifesaving Society to teach residents about summer water safety
Residents hoping to learn how to keep themselves and their families safe around water can head to the provincial park this weekend.
The Lifesaving Society is holding a special Water Smart program at the main beach in the Battlefords Provincial Park on Saturday, July 23.
The program, hosted in five other provincial parks this summer, is flexible based on who shows up and what they need to learn, Shelby Rushton of the Lifesaving Society said.
“Basically we want people to leave understanding how to keep themselves and family members safe in, on and around water whenever they’re around it, whether that be a lake, a river, a swimming pool or their backyard pool,” she said.
