National Drowning Prevention Week
July 20 - 27, 2013
National Drowning Prevention Week (NDPW) is from July 20-27, 2013. The event increases awareness, across Canada, of the need for drowning prevention. It also aims to promote awareness of the Society's public advocacy role; to reinforce the identity of the Lifesaving Society as experts in the field of drowning prevention; and to promote the Society's objectives. Contact your local pool for NDPW events near you. Many groups and individuals have a role as Society partners in preventing these tragic and preventable deaths and injuries. Our drowning and injury prevention partners include:
Public:
Everyday Canadians make safe choices around water and ice, the Society encourages you to learn more on how to protect yourself and others by accessing our expertise, programs and services.
The Media:
Help us reach the public (Alberta & Northwest Territories) with messages and awareness about making Water Smart® choices and encouraging them to learn valuable skills.
Lifesaving Society Affiliate Members and Leadership Volunteers:
Staff at your local aquatic facility are your Water Smart® leaders. National Lifeguards, and Swim & Lifesaving Instructors deliver Lifesaving Society programs and services year round in your community.
Injury Prevention Partners:
Collaboration with other injury prevention organizations will strengthen and further our collective cause. The Society publicly endorses and supports the vision and mission of the Alberta Injury Control Strategy (AICS) to make Alberta the safest place to live.
Governments:
Injury prevention is a public responsibility that requires the support of governments at all levels from municipal to federal.
