## Resource

Every summer, Canada’s waterways claim over 450 lives — and Manitoba bears a heavy toll with 22 drownings annually. This July, two brothers vanished at Sturgeon Falls, while an 18-year-old drowned in a deceptive gravel pit — sparking urgent action. The province is fencing off dangerous trails and reviewing high-risk park zones, but experts stress that education and deterrence are equally vital. Programs like Winnipeg’s swim lesson subsidies and school-based initiatives offer hope — expanding them statewide could save lives before the next tragedy strikes.
