Staying safe on Saskatchewan's waterways

It's been a tragic start to the summer on Saskatchewan's waterways, with multiple rescues and even a few fatalities serving as a stark reminder of how quickly conditions can turn dangerous. John Maczko, commanding officer, director of operations for Amphibious Response Support Unit One & K9 Gusztav, Saskatchewan's only active water rescue canine, joins Tamara to discuss the risks on the water and how to stay safe this summer.

To talk about that, Tamara is joined by wildlife author and bear advocate Trina Moyles.
