ICBC, RCMP bringing boating education to Kamloops waters
KAMLOOPS — Mike Ellis and his family are heading out on the South Thompson River to enjoy the afternoon.
“Today we’re going to enjoy the sunshine, take a run on the water. We’re actually just going to go upstream as far as we’re allowed to go and drop our anchor and just gradually float down,” said Ellis.
They have food, water, and most importantly life jackets. Ellis tries to ensure he’s prepared with everything he needs on board, and once he’s on the water he’s aware at all times.
