Spring Water Awareness & Safety Around Dams

Tragically, every year children drown in Ontario's waterways. The Spring Water Awareness and Safety Around Dams Program was developed by Quinte Conservation to make children aware of the dangers associated with the spring water runoff, unstable ice, fast flowing cold waters, slippery and unstable shore, and the dangers of playing around dams.

QC is the lead flood-warning agency and has a related interest in public safety. As such, we created this curriculum-based teacher resource kit for use in area schools. The Spring Water Awareness Program helps teachers promote safety and create awareness.

Together, let's make our children aware of the dangers that exist near water and through education, prevent a tragedy.
