The OPP is reminding the public to stay safe on the water following a spike in marine incidents across Ontario.
That was Sgt. Ed Sanchuk with the West Region OPP.
He says a lifejacket is a must.
There is also some planning you need to ahead of time, and on the day of on the water, use common sense.
The Safe Boating Guide is available through Transport Canada and should be reviewed ahead of every outing.
