Water Safety on Crane Lake

When July arrived, it was like a switch was turned on and the weather became consistently gorgeous and the lake temperature increased remarkably. It was a welcoming invitation to jump in the lake or go for a ski or an exciting ‘tube’ ride! However, with the enjoyment of water sports comes the seriousness of water & boating safety. As we enjoy these last months of summertime activities, please be respectful of others and remember these important points.

Fire Safety - AEDs on Crane Lake

As a member of the Crane Lake Association, you are likely aware of the 5 Fire pumps spread around the lake (6 including the one on the Fire Boat) which are available for cottagers to use in an emergency.

Did you also know that along with each fire pump there is a portable AED? What’s an AED you may ask?

Fire & Water Safety Flyer

The Crane Lake Association has developed a simple Fire Safety brochure which we suggest you print out and post in a prominent place in your cottage. This is a great refresher for owners and invaluable information for guests and cottage renters. As a bonus we’ve added Water Safety tips to this brochure as well.
