RCMSAR volunteers wear a PFD every time they are on the water—not because they expect something to go wrong, but because they know it can.

Being prepared starts before you leave the dock. A fall, collision, mechanical problem or sudden change in conditions can happen before there is time to prepare.

So, why aren’t you wearing it?

Wear your lifejacket or PFD. Every time.

Recent drowning incidents in British Columbia have been a sobering reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on the water.

As RCMSAR volunteers, we want people to enjoy BC’s waters—and return home safely afterward.

Most people know they should wear a lifejacket or PFD when they're on the water. Many even bring one with them. Yet it can still end up under a seat, inside a locker or somewhere else on the boat instead of being worn.

That's why we're asking one simple question: Why aren’t you wearing it?

It's a question for all of us to consider before leaving the dock or the shore. Put on your lifejacket or PFD before you head out, and keep it on for the entire trip.

Wear a lifejacket or PFD. Every time.
