Alberta’s Deadly Summer on the Water | Calgary News

Alberta’s drowning crisis is escalating this summer, with over 11 deaths already reported by mid-August—more than double last year’s tally. Experts warn adult men and children are most at risk, often due to alcohol, swimming alone, or lack of supervision. Newcomers face added danger without local water safety knowledge. Prevention is urgent: swim with a buddy, wear life jackets, never drink near water, and keep kids closely watched. Lifesaving programs and multilingual signage could save lives—because drowning doesn’t wait for heroes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
