Centennial Park - Rental activities for light recreational watercraft to resume

BEACONSFIELD, QC, July 20, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Rental activities for light recreational watercraft will resume at Centennial Park as of tomorrow in line with regular activities and hours.

Rental activities had been suspended on Thursday afternoon in the wake of the drowning of a man in the waters of Lake Saint-Louis. Following the police investigation which was transferred to the Coroner's Office, the site will resume its regular activities as of tomorrow morning.

The mayor of Beaconsfield, Georges Bourelle, reiterates that recreational boating activities must be carried out in accordance with the safety rules issued by Transport Canada and the Lifesaving Society.
