2024 a été une autre année bien remplie pour les activités maritimes récréatives et les efforts de sensibilisation à la sécurité nautique dans les eaux qui constituent le Port de Vancouver. Notre équipe de patrouilleurs portuaires a rencontré des centaines de plaisanciers et de pagayeurs pour promouvoir les meilleures pratiques de sécurité nautique, effectuer des vérifications de sécurité et fournir des directives ou des instructions de sécurité. Merci aux agences partenaires, y compris l'Institut canadien de sauvetage, @CSBCCANADA, @RCM_SAR, @VPDMarineUnit, @BoatingBC, et @icbc pour leur aide et leur soutien à nos initiatives de sécurité nautique, et aux plaisanciers pour leur respect des règles de sécurité tout au long de la saison. Pour en savoir plus sur nos efforts en matière de sécurité nautique pour 2024 et sur les impacts connexes, veuillez consulter le site 👇🏽
