The facts may surprise you: • Most drownings occur only 3 to 15 metres away from shore or a point of safety - learn to swim and reduce the risk.

• 2/3rd’s of drowning victims had no intention of entering the water and died as result of unplanned immersion. They did not have the necessary self-rescue skills to survive the incident.

• Learn how to support yourself at the surface.

• Swim to safety – learning to swim a standard distance of 50 metres could prevent a water-related incident and save your life.

➲ About the Power of Sport

Sport has the power to reduce crime, foster character and citizenship, introduce newcomers to their communities, stimulate the local economy, provide adult mentorship for young people, teach kids important life lessons and strengthen community connectedness. Unfortunately, sport participation is on the decline in our country. Over the past two decades, sport participation rates in Canadian youth aged 15 to 18 dropped from 77% to 59% - and in adults, from 45% to 28%. Over half of Canadian adults are considered inactive, and only 7% of our children and youth are active enough to meet Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines.

➲ Jersey Day - Friday, September 28

Back again as a popular part of the Sports Day celebrations, Friday, Sept. 28 is a national day to show your love and support for sport by wearing a jersey, team or club uniform to school, work or play. From municipal council chambers to the National Capital to news desks, office buildings and classrooms across the nation, we envision a sea of Canadians wearing their hearts on their sleeves on national Jersey Day.
