While many may be looking to enjoy the rising temperatures and clear skies, the Town of Lake Cowichan is urging people to avoid tubing on the Cowichan River, which is flowing particularly fast.
"Avoid activities, including tubing on a fast-flowing Cowichan River, which could spell potential dangers to those who venture onto it," said the municipality in a social media post. "Please stay safe."The first rescue occurred on May 2, when first responders were called to a report of a tuber without a lifejacket yelling for help in the river.
Then, on May 13, police received a report of a vessel capsizing that had five adults and one child onboard."Both incidents are unrelated, and everyone was located safe," said Lake Cowichan RCMP spokesperson Const. David Prak in a release Thursday.
