National Safe Boating Week: May 20-26, 2017
Key messages for the Canadian Safe Boating Council Safe Boating Awareness programs:
Wear Your Lifejacket
Legally you must carry one on board, appropriately sized for each passenger. But don't just carry it, WEAR IT.
Don't Drink & Boat
Boating under the influence is not just illegal; it's irresponsible. Wait until you get back to the pier to have that beer.
Take a Boating Course
The law now requires that anyone driving a motorized boat must have a pleasure-craft operator card. It's for your own safety and that of your passengers. Don't get caught without one. Take a course and get your license!

Be Prepared - You and Your Vessel
Ensure your boat has all the required safety gear and sufficient fuel. Be sure the weather is suitable for your vessel's capabilities.
Cold Water Immersion
Cold water is a significant risk. Learn how to protect yourself.
