Boating season is underway in the northwest.
Ontario Provincial Police Constable Ronni Grosenick wants everyone to be safe on the water.
Grosenick says it’s essential everybody on board their boat must have a properly fitting life jacket.
Boaters should ensure their vessel is working properly and have enough gas to make the trip.
You should also let your friends and family know about your plans for the venture.
Grosenick reminds everyone it’s illegal to drink and operate any form of water craft.
