Due to the coronavirus the West Kootenay Water Safety Event (formerly the Nelson Safe Boating Event) has been postponed, date to be determined. We will update this page with further information as soon as we are in a position to do so.
Did you know that there have been 14 deaths on Kootenay Lake within the last 8 years? Did you know that cold water shock kills more people in Canada than hypothermia? Did you know that if you drink and boat you can be charged under the Criminal Code?
