CSBC Boating Tips

Cold water is dangerous, but with the right knowledge & preparation, you can survive longer than you think — especially if you're wearing a lifejacket. Visit csbc.ca to check out our #ColdWaterAwareness courses & learn how to stay safe in cold water situations.

As temperatures rise, ice conditions change quickly. What may look like solid ice can actually be weak, unstable, and unsafe. Visit csbc.ca for more tips on Ice safety and #ColdWaterAwareness.

March 1st is National Ice Safety Day. We would like to remind you that ice conditions can change quickly. Visit csbc.ca for more tips on Ice safety and #ColdWaterAwareness. Learn more about the Cold Water workshops that we offer to enhance your education.

Winter weather has arrived & while the ice may look solid, no ice is ever truly safe. If you choose to go, #BePrepared, know how to reduce your risk & self-rescue if you break through; otherwise, don’t go at all.

No one loves winterizing, but a little prep now saves big repair bills later ❄️🚤 Drain water, winterize engine & fuel, cover properly, remove soft goods, protect batteries, ventilate & deter critters. csbc.ca #BoatingTips #OffSeasonPrep #SafeBoating
