RCMP are reminding Manitobans to be safe while using inflatable rafts after several reports of people floating away on dinghies. One dinghy drifted about 8 kilometres away from its launch point on massive Lake Manitoba, according to a police release. RCMP and Manitoba Conservation officers called for backup to assist in the rescue. When using an inflatable – ensure you are anchored, wear a life jacket, never be alone & remember that the weather can quickly change. Julie Courchaine of the Manitoba RCMP said in the release.
