OGDENSBURG -- National Safe Boating Week kicks off Saturday, May 20, with Ready, Set, Wear It!, a program designed to encourage the public to wear life jackets.
North Country participants will gather, in life jackets, outside the Dobisky Center at the Ogdensburg Municipal Marina at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 20, for a reading of Ogdensburg’s National Safe Boating Week Proclamation by Mayor Wayne Ashley.
Attendees will then assemble, in life jackets, for the official Life Jacket World Record photograph. Free courtesy vessel exams will also be available at this event.
The national campaign is organized by the National Safe Boating Council, in partnership with the Canadian Safe Boating Council
Members of the public are invited to join with members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, and people around the world to raise safety awareness and to help set a new world record for Life Jacket World Record Day.
In 2015, 10,917 participants from 11 countries and several dogs, put on their life jackets to participate in the event.
