Trans Mountain Supports Water Safety in Indigenous Communities – Trans Mountain
May 19, 2022
Trans Mountain is proud to announce a joint initiative with Transport Canada to create lifejacket libraries for more than 30 West Coast Indigenous communities.
These libraries loan lifejackets donated by Trans Mountain to community members of all ages and sizes to enjoy water-based activities safely. This initiative supports Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety mandate to educate boaters and save lives by using the proper equipment, gaining the knowledge and respect for our water environment and wearing lifejackets for water-based activities.
The program aims to make sure recreational users understand and follow the regulations for boating and other activities like kayaking, jet skiing, standup paddleboarding and fishing and also contributes to Trans Mountain’s compliance with BC EAO Condition 11 – Indigenous Marine Public Outreach.
