Life vests available for water safety

Thanks to the efforts of a local couple and their involvement in an area agency, families enjoying Lake Huron can borrow life jackets in Sanilac County. Safe Kids Greater Thumb and Saginaw Area, along with Matt and Jen Gezequel, have teamed up to implement the Life Jacket Loaner Program.

It provides life jackets at Forester Park, Port Sanilac Marina and at Patrick Tierney Park in Lexington. The jackets are in blue cabinets and are available through an honor system.

Sizing directions based on weight are printed on signs on the cabinets.
