New PFD Loaner Stations 

The Coastal Nations Coast Guard Auxiliary (CN-CGA) supports safe boating by providing Personal Flotation Device (PFD) Loaner Stations in member nations. These stations make lifejackets easily available to community members and visitors who may not have their own.

Each station is stocked with a range of sizes—from child to adult—so everyone can find a proper fit. Community members are encouraged to borrow a PFD free of charge for their time on the water and return it when finished, ensuring others can also benefit.

The goal of the program is to:

• Promote water safety and reduce the risk of drowning.

• Ensure accessibility, especially for families and visitors.

• Build a culture of shared responsibility for safe boating within our coastal communities.

Wear it for them — youth learn by watching.
Role modeling safe boating has a huge impact.
