Summary

A year after a devastating boating collision on Burrard Inlet killed ten-year-old Lionel Hall, his mother Shelley Klassen is turning grief into action, pushing for “Lionel’s Law” to crack down on reckless boating. With new federal rules on licensing and renewal coming, Klassen insists enforcement and more patrols are critical — especially during busy summer months. Though no charges have been laid, she’s determined to prevent other families from suffering the same loss, fueled by the memory of her son and the urgent need for safer waters.
