Today marks the beginning of National Boat Safety Week. The joint venture between boating safety advocates across the United States and Canada seeks to promote safe and responsible boating. The theme of the campaign, “Wear It!” is in reference to their primary goal of getting boaters everywhere to wear life jackets each time they go out on the water. In addition to life jackets, the campaign also reminds boaters of the importance of never boating under the influence and knowing navigational rules. Campaign partners will host local events, offer on-water training, and perform free vessel safety checks. For information about events, visit safeboatingcampaign.com.
