While lakes may still be frozen, police want you to think about boating safety before cottages open next month.
This comes as 2017 marked an eight-year-high with 31 marine deaths in Ontario.

Yarmel says a good way to make sure you have everything is to ask a few questions to make sure you’re prepared.
Yarmel says Killaloe OPP has a marine officer that patrols major lakes in the summer including Kamaniskeg Lake, Opeongo Lake and Round Lake to name just a few.
