(Langford, B.C.) – The City of Langford is actively installing lifesaving equipment at lakes located in Langford to improve public water safety.
“Council fully supports all initiatives that promote water safety and lifesaving efforts,” said Scott Goodmanson, Mayor of Langford. “We are committed to creating awareness and providing a safer environment for residents and visitors to enjoy local lakes.”
The City would like to thank Langford residents Ryan Oakley and Brittany Loomis for their generous donation of four life rings. The City is in the process of installing the donated life rings at the main swimming areas of Langford Lake and has also purchased Public Access Liferings directly from the Lifesaving Society of BC. The life ring installation at Leigh Place dock is already completed, and installations at Scouts Point, Lake Park off Goldstream Avenue, and Lake Point Park are scheduled for later today. Life rings will also be installed at the Florence Lake boat launch dock, and at Glen Lake Beach Park and Glen Cove dock early next week. In the upcoming days, the City will also be installing new signage from the Lifesaving Society to improve public safety.
The City of Langford encourages residents and visitors to review WaterSmart ways to enjoy the outdoors. The City also encourages residents to benefit from swimming lessons offered by the YMCA and Westshore Parks and Recreation.
