    Weekend OPP Marine Patrol Nets Mariners Without Lifejackets

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (MIDLAND, On)-  Weekend marine patrol by members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) charged five mariners for failing to have sufficient lifejackets for everyone aboard their vessels while checking 43 vessels for required safety equipment and signs of impairment. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CE5MBE6RG/

    During the officers 35 hours of patrol on area waterways between August 13-17, 2025, 15 operators were educated and three more were charged with Canada Shipping Act violations with one operator being charged with a liquor related offence. One vessel operator was required to provide a breath sample on the roadside screening device resulting in a 3-day drivers licence suspension in accordance to the Ministry of Transportation (ADLS) guidelines. This particular investigation was the result of a vessel stop in the dark hours of Saturday night of a personal watercraft being operated without navigation lights in the Main Channel of Honey Harbour. See the following Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CE5MBE6RG/

    Wearing your lifejacket while on the water will increase your chances of survival if you should go overboard into the water. Be prepared by having the appropriate number of approved lifejackets and or floater suits on board for all vessel occupants. https://tc.canada.ca/en/marine-transportation/marine-safety/office-boating-safety?utm_campaign=tc-boating-safety-ongoing&utm_medium=vurl&utm_source=tc-gc-ca-boatingsafety

    Educating Young Mariners to Wear Their Lifejackets

    The “I Got Caught Wearing My Lifejacket” water safety program has been in place on OPP patrolled waterways for many years and continues to enjoy great success in educating young mariners in North Simcoe the value in having and wearing your lifejacket while on the water.

    Remember, if you see a possible impaired operator “Make the Call” and dial 911 and help prevent a marine tragedy and always have an eye to the sky for changing weather conditions.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
