Kayak Safety Training | MAY 18, 2025 | Cambridge Fire Department

May 1, 2025From the Mayor’s Desk: Safety on the Water Starts Here As spring opens up our rivers and creeks, it also brings a responsibility -to ourselves, to our families, and to each other. That’s why I want to spotlight an important event happening right here in the Village.On Saturday, May 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the Cambridge Fire Department is hosting a free Kayak Safety Course at 50 Gilbert Street.This is more than a weekend activity. It’s a hands-on, practical way to prepare for the paddling season - and a chance to learn directly from the first responders who know our waterways best. You’ll come away with tips, techniques, and the kind of awareness that can prevent accidents before they happen.Whether you’re new to kayaking or you’ve been paddling for years, I encourage you to join. Registration is required - once you sign up, the team will follow up with what to bring and how to prepare.Safety isn’t just seasonal, and it’s not something we outsource. It’s something we practice, together. I’m proud of our fire department for making this course available - and proud of the residents who will take the time to show up.See you on the water - safely.- Jim Sweeney, Mayor Village of Cambridge, NY
