The Canada Day long weekend has arrived and a that means roads, trails and waterways across Ontario will be busy.
OPP Sergeant Kerry Schmidt says taking basic safety steps can greatly increase your survival chances in the event of an emergency.
Schmidt says when it comes to activities on the water over the past 10 years, a lot of water-related deaths have had a common theme.
He also notes that of the 3,174 people who have died on OPP-patrolled roads during the past 10 years, choosing to not wear a seatbelt was a contributing factor in 542 of the fatalities.
