THE GAMBLERS

Every summer in Canada there are tragedies
caused through mishaps in and around our Lakes.
Even Cassiar is prone to such disasters and it
was only the resourcefulnass of one of the
ladies of Cassiar that possibly saved the life
of a young child in the summer of 1969.

This summer - another tragedy was narrowly
averted when a father and his young son ended
up in the water when their boat capsized. Neither
of the occupants were wearing life jackets and
only the presence of mind of the father and the
assistance of people on the shore prevented a
double tragedy.

Remember - being a fair swimmer isn't
always sufficient in our cold northern waters.

Many of you will be out sailing and boating
this summer and you all have at least one good
reason (your own life) and some of you many good
reasons (your family) to take extra special
care when beating.
