Get aboard for small

BRITISH COLUMBIA has
the highest percentage of
boat ownership in Canada,
and leads the country in the
number of water-related
fatalities.

“Your first time out in a
boat each year is potentially
the most dangerous,"’ said
Red Cross spokesman Janet
Whitehead.

‘“‘Many drownings occur
in the spring, when your

Workshops offer

boating skills are Tusty and
the water is cold,”’ she said.
The Red Cross recom-
mends:
- a careful inspection of your
craft for leaks and other
forms of deterioration; a
detailed inspection of your
motor; ensuring that oars
and paddles are not
waterlogged or cracked;
- checking for tears,
buoyancy and fit of gov-
ernment-approved life

skilis for teens

Teenagers looking for a
volunteer work experience
can get off to a good start
this summer by taking the
Youth Volunteer Training
Workshops being offered by

ed at teaching teens some
skills for volunteer jobs in
summer playgrounds, day
camps or recreation pro-
grams, will be offered on
three consecutive Thursdays
starting May 30th from 7 - 9
p.m.

Gerry Fitch, Recreation

couver.

structions ia ‘‘Beginner’s
