Today is the first World #DrowningPrevention Day. Over 230k people drown every year & it’s one of the main causes of death among people ages 1-24. Let's scale up proven strategies to prevent these tragedies from happening. Anyone can drown, no one should.

Members of @RCAF_ARC 424Sqn and @OPP combined to rescue two persons stranded on ice near Tobermory on Sunday on Georgian Bay. Bring whistle, radio (or cellphone), and wear #lifejacket when on lake ice. #GreatLakesWinterSafety

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dale Hawerchuk and his family as he begins another round in his courageous battle with cancer. Dale has always faced his toughest opponents head-on, and we know this will once again be no different. #HawerchukStrong

Sad news about a great man. His passion for his country was clear. Was a thrill to get to know him.

#tbt to @ProfPopsicle's appearance on @ABC showing viewers how to get out of a sinking vehicle. This clip has 10 million-plus views (!), but really should be required viewing for us all. youtube.com/watch?v=fymjbkGS…

Survey says! 80% would change prior to wrap. @ProfPopsicle learning indicates a "wrap and go" approach w/wet clothing 4 this scenario.
