The City of Welland is prioritizing water safety at the Recreational Canal and Welland River to enhance the well-being of residents and visitors.
City officials introduced the Recreational Canal Safety plan, providing essential information on water safety with the hopes of preventing drowning incidents.
The plan is part of a public education campaign, dedicated water safety days, and they are offering free lifejacket rentals at the docks.
They don’t want to discourage people from enjoying the waterways. The goal is to ensure that the public is well-informed about necessary safety measures.
