LIZ SNELGROVE COO
Hello everyone,
I hope you are enjoying the start of summer. Many of you will be taking your well-deserved vacations over the next couple of months. It’s so important to take time with your family and friends to recharge.
As you all know, summer is a busy season at PDG with kids off from school.
My message this month is brief: enjoy the summer days!
WATER SAFETY
Reminder
As summer plans take us closer to the water, it's a good time to remember a few simple safety steps in and around the water
Recent marine tragedies near Steveston are a reminder to stay prepared. Whether you’re boating, paddling, swimming, or spending time at the beach, being prepared can help keep everyone safe.
Wear a properly fitted lifejacket.
Check weather and water conditions Let someone know your plans
Carry a way to call for help: use a charged phone or VHF radio. Enter the water safely. Never dive head first unless you know the water depth
Stay safe and enjoy the summer responsibly
Happy Anniversary
