July 17-23 is National Drowning Prevention Week

Police ask parents, and guardians to ensure children stay out of dams and other areas with fast-flowing water.

Those areas are clearly marked with danger signs for a reason, and an accident can happen in just an instant.

This video is an important safety message for parents, guardians, and for the kids themselves. Every year the OPP investigates senseless and preventable drownings.
