BAYSAR PFD Pledge Winner Takes Flight

Urs Riesen was the lucky recipient of a flight in a float plane with Stan French, President of BAYSAR. The
actual winner of the random draw was Ur’s wife, Rebecca, who transferred the flight to Urs as a Father’s
Day gift. Both Urs and Rebecca had taken the PFD Pledge during the OPP sponsored Launch to Safe
Boating event that was held June 1. The Pledge read, “I pledge that when boating I will wear my PFD
and I will have all those in my care wear their PFDs”.
As we enter the Canada Day weekend boaters are reminded that having the required PFDs in the boat
isn’t enough; they need to be worn to save your life.
BAYSAR volunteers will be in the air periodically this weekend and available to assist the OPP SAVE Team
if required.
