SAFETY EVENTS
The Ruth Inch Pool has been the home base for a couple very exciting Water Safety Events this summer. The staff had a great time and would like to thank the participants and sponsors who made it all possible.
Water Safety Week from June 4-10, 2011 saw 1061 people swim for free and participate in events designed to educate the public about the dangers of water and best practices for families in and around the water thanks to Tim Hortons. Diavik Diamond Mines assisted us by sponsoring in school presentations for over 600 children that focussed on lifejacket use and supervision of children around the water.
Drowning Prevention Week recently ended with a total of 1262 people taking part in the week-long festivities that focussed on skills and knowledge that hopefully will reduce the number of drownings and near misses in the NWT. A great big thank you to the swim sponsors who made Drowning Prevention Week such a success Adam Dental Clinic, Frame Lake Dental Clinic, Pack Rat Mini Storage Ltd, JSL Mechanical Installations Ltd, Legge Carpentry Ltd., Union of Northern Workers, Paddlers for Parts, Northland Utilities and the City of Yellowknife. Thanks also to Pioneer Supply House and Force One for the donations of prizes for our draws. Thanks to everyone for participating and see you next year!
