OPP are reminding the public to stay safe on the water.
The reminder comes after officers responded to a series of water-related incidents across the province over the weekend.
Alcohol or drug impairment, operator inexperience and not wearing a life jacket are named as some of the factors that can lead to injury or death in those incidents.
Boaters are reminded to always be well-prepared, check the weather forecast, and make sure your vessel is functioning and equipped.
Swimmers are also cautioned to never venture into the water alone, supervise children closely, and obey posted signs and warnings.
