Free Video B-Roll available via CNW - Water Safety: Tool designed to prevent child drownings


TORONTO, June 30, 2014 /CNW/ - The following B-Roll is available by
Video On-Demand web download:


STORY SUMMARY: To help prevent child drowning deaths this summer, the Lifesaving
Society has developed the ON GUARD card, a plastic card worn on a
lanyard around the neck, which provides very specific tips to help
parents and caregivers supervise around water as effectively as
possible. Those who wear the card must commit 100% of their attention
to their role as supervisor and find another adult to relieve them if
they need to turn their attention away for any reason. The card removes
any doubt about who is responsible for minding the children, with a
goal of reducing accidents or death by drowning. B-Roll includes
footage of Barbara Byers, Public Education Director for the Lifesaving
Society discussing water safety and children and parents using the card
at a backyard pool.
