Elgin County Drowning Prevention Coalition
The Elgin County Drowning Prevention Coalition (ECDPC) was created with the intention of supporting the Canadian Drowning Prevention Research Centre’s goal of enhancing community-based drowning prevention and water safety knowledge.
Elgin County is home to 100km+ of Lake Erie shoreline, ponds, rivers, marshes, backyard pools and agriculture water stores.
Our mandate states: “To prevent the incidence of fatal and non-fatal drownings and other water-related injuries in Elgin County, by educating and exchanging knowledge related to drowning prevention. "
