SUN & WATER
SAFETY TIPS
SUN SAFETY
• When the UV Index is 3 or higher, protect your skin as much as possible.
In general, the UV Index in Canada can be 3 or higher from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
between April and September, even when it’s cloudy.
• Seek shade or bring your own (e.g., an umbrella).
• Wear clothing and a wide-brimmed hat that cover as much skin as possible,
as appropriate to the activity and weather.
• Use sunscreen labelled “broad spectrum” and “water-resistant” with a sun
protection factor (SPF) of at least 30, on skin not covered by clothing.
Apply sunscreen generously and reapply when required.
• Don’t use UV tanning equipment or deliberately try to get a suntan,
and avoid getting a sunburn.
• Wear sunglasses or prescription eyeglasses with UV-protective lenses.
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat for added eye protection.
WATER SAFETY
• Go with a buddy! Ensure you are swimming with a friend
• Check the tides and the currents
• Ensure proper supervision of children and youth - be in the water with them!
• Wear a lifejacket or PFD!
DID YOU KNOW?
The Canadian Red Cross offers a PFD Loan Program? Personal Flotation
Devices (PFDs) and lifejackets are available for short-term loan at no cost.
Wearing a properly fitted PFD/life jacket is a key component of water safety;
child, youth and adult sizes are available for those taking part in activities in or
around water. Call (902) 678-0415 for more information!
