Paddleboarder Rescued at Ghost Lake | Calgary News

On a calm Saturday at Ghost Lake, RCMP patrols saved a paddleboarder from drowning after they tumbled into chilly waters — a stark reminder that even serene days can turn dangerous. With paddleboarding booming in popularity, officers are cracking down on safety: life jackets and signaling devices are mandatory, or face a $250 fine and banishment from the water. That day alone, 11 paddleboarders were told to head back until properly equipped. Officers also checked 17 boats carrying 114 people and handled a complaint at the launch — all while reinforcing that safety isn’t optional out there.
