It's 21 years late, but
Baywatch has finally made it to Pickering.
This month, the
City of Pickering completed a water safety program involving the permanent installation of signs and buoys in
Frenchman's Bay to enforce long-ignored federal boating laws.
The project has been nicknamed
Baywatch.
As the markers began going up, the Durham Regional Police Marine Unit has started stopping boats for speeding, and to do general license and safety checks.
According to Pickering's mayor, the reduced speeds will also have some positive repercussions on the physical environment.
"I congratulate City staff for spearheading this initiative,"
Mayor Dave Ryan said in a prepared statement, "and partnering with the police marine unit and other stakeholders to enhance community safety while reducing the erosion of our shoreline."
