There are no hidden agendas. We will be seeking the assistance from some of our specialty units to be present and answer any questions. We also plan to have emergency services equipment on hand for the youth to view. Each youth, no older than 16 years of age, will be required to pre register. We also ask that those attending try to supply their own fishing equipment and bait, be accompanied by a guardian if required, and wear a personal flotation device while fishing. Several responsible volunteers will be in attendance, and if the availability of fishing equipment becomes an issue, equipment will be on hand to assist. A lunch and beverages will be provided to the youth at no cost courtesy of local merchants, To register, please call 519-524-8314.

"Events like the one in Goderich are a perfect way for kids to learn that these dedicated men and women care about there as individuals, not as potential young offenders," Insurance for Living Today...

As we gear up for another boating season, the OPP is asking boaters to take some precautions while out on the water. Always wear your lifejacket or Personal Floatation Devic (PFTs), Tim Ives, the Sergeant in charge of Marine with the Lambton OPP says, "Lifejackets or PFI)'s are of no use to you if they are in the boat and you are overboard and in the water." if you have an inflatable PEI) be sure you are familiar with their operating instructions. Don't drink and boat. Operating your vessel with open liquor or while impaired is against the law, if you are caught, you will be fined at best or if impaired you will lose your pleasure craft operator's privilege and your driver's license. Familiarize yourself with the boat you are operating. Check the condition of your vessel and the equipment on board to be sure everything is in good working order for the boating season. Before you leave the dock, make sure you are equipped with the necessary safety equipment for the size of vessel you are operating. A lifejacket or PFI) that is the appropri- ate sire for each person an board, a sound signaling device, a bailing device, a watertight flashlight or flares and a buoy- ant heaving device are only a few of the items that you must carry with you. Always refer to the Marine Safety tab on the Transport Canada website for specifics related to your vessel. Environmental conditions can change very quickly and water can become unpredictable. Know your limits and If conditions become unsafe, get yourself to a safe location. The Lambton County ()PP will begin patrolling the local waterways this weekend and will continue to do so through- out the summer and into the fall. Sergeant Tim Ives says, "bets work together to make this a safe boating season for everyone. 'think safety first!" 4�• CAMta-OUT RV sales • renls • ser .
