World No Tobacco Day 2024

Youth step in and speak out #TobaccoExposed
World No Tobacco Day 2024 will give a platform to young people across the world, who are urging governments to shield them from predatory tobacco marketing tactics. The industry targets youth for a lifetime of profits, creating a new wave of addiction. Children are using e-cigarettes at rates higher than adults in all regions and globally an estimated 37 million youth aged 13–15 years use tobacco.

Safe Boating Awareness Week

May 18 -24, 2024
While boating season is not in full swing yet, there are many getting onto the water in time for Safe Boating Awareness week.
💧 All boats must:
Have a lifejacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFD) on board the watercraft for each person.
Have bailing equipment.
Have a sounding device.
Have lights for night navigation.
💧 Get Certified – If you are operating a power-driven boat, you require a Pleasure Craft Operator Card.
💧 Boat Sober – Whether it’s prescription drugs, alcohol or cannabis, the use of intoxicants is both irresponsible and illegal. Being convicted of impaired operation of a boat will also affect your automobile license.
💧 Be Prepared – Make sure you and your boat are up to your planned on-water activities. That means you are knowledgeable about your upcoming trip, your boat is properly equipped with the required safety equipment, the weather is suitable for the voyage, you have sufficient fuel and you have filed a trip plan.
Plus, this is not all about you…it is important to keep in mind that by staying out of trouble you will not be putting pressure on rescue resources.
💧 Be Cold Water Safe – Cold water can severely impact your ability to swim or even just stay afloat. Even the best swimmers will feel the effects of a sudden cold-water immersion. No matter your swimming ability, best chance of surviving an accidental cold-water immersion is to wear your lifejacket!
