TIVFD/RCMSAR 29 Summer 2026 Kids Don’t Float Program

The Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue 29 Ladysmith crew visited Thetis Island on Saturday morning, July 11th, to check up on the Kids Don’t Float lifejackets loaner program that the Thetis Island Fire Department co-sponsors.  We are up and running for the summer and encourage parents who visit the community dock and the beach below it to put a lifejacket on their children. Return the lifejacket to the hook when you leave and if you find a problem with the lifejacket, let the Fire Department know. 

Be safe and have fun this summer!
