Personal Floatation Devices

In Calgary, wearing a PFD is actually the law!

Always wear a personal floatation device (PFD) at all times.

The PFD must be zipped, clipped and tied.

• The bright yellow color is worn facing out.



• The bottom of the PFD can be turned up "kayak style" if it is too long.



• If you need to add another layer of clothing, put it on under the PFD.

Keep your PFD on at all times until your guide says that you're finished for the day.

• Wear a PFD even while performing science tests along the shore.



• Wear the PFD during lunch - it's not a seat cushion.



• At the end of the day, don't return to the river to help with other rafts if you've already removed your PFD.
