Boating Season is upon us! Check your Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s) for wear and tear. If equipped with inflation devices, check that your cartridges are secure and charged.
Be Weather-wise, check your local weather conditions before you go. Follow a Pre-Departure Checklist to ensure compliance with Transport Canada boating regulations.
Practise boating safety at all times by saving the alcohol for on land. The probability of being involved in a boating accident doubles when alcohol is involved, and studies have also shown that the affect of alcohol is exacerbated by external effects such as sun and wind.
