The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting a free boating safety course Saturday, Jan. 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Hayden.

To sign up for the course online, visit bit.ly/1txbyhz.

The one-day course will be given at the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office Volunteer Search and Rescue Building, 10865 N. Ramsey Road.

All boaters, regardless of experience, are encouraged to take a boating safety class to learn about Idaho boating laws and pick up some boating safety tips. Many families take the course together so both kids and adults can safely operate their boat. Some insurance companies even offer a discount to those boat owners that successfully complete the “Boat Idaho” boat safety course. Check with your insurance agent to see if you are eligible.
