Perth County Paramedic Services and OPP have kicked off National Prevention Drowning week with their goal to talk safety.

66 percent of drownings in Canada take place between May-September as Paramedic Services remind everyone to be safe while enjoying summer activities in the water.

The Lifesaving Society says its possible for any adult who doesn’t know how to swim to take lessons with other adults across the province and encourages those to do so if they don’t know how to swim.
