flag GAMRU warns boaters of rising rescue risks from non-motorized vessels and urges safety training ahead of winter.

flag The Grimsby Auxiliary Marine Rescue Unit (GAMRU) is urging boaters to prioritize safety education as the 2025 season ends, noting 35 rescue calls—up from previous years—linked to increased use of kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. flag Volunteers warn that even non-motorized vessels are at risk from strong winds and currents, especially from the southwest, leading to people being stranded far from shore. flag They recommend training through CanBoat and Transport Canada, and are recruiting new members through sessions in Winona and St. Catharines, with training starting in January. flag The group also hosts an annual auction on November 25 to support operations.
