Tip 4: Boat Sober
Alcohol, cannabis, prescription medication, and other intoxicants can affect your balance, reaction time, and judgment on the water. Boating impaired is dangerous and illegal.

Tip 3: Be Cold Water Safe
Cold water can affect you faster than many people realize. Even strong swimmers can struggle during sudden cold-water immersion. Wearing your lifejacket gives you the best chance of staying safe if the unexpected happens. ❄️🦺

Tip 2: Take a Boating Course
A boating course is a great way to build confidence and improve your skills on the water. Whether you’re new to boating or have years of experience, there’s always something new to learn.

Tip 1: Wear Your Lifejacket
Over 80% of Canadians who drown while boating were not wearing their lifejacket properly or not wearing one at all. The good news is today’s lifejackets and PFDs are more comfortable and designed for all types of boating activities.

🔧 Regular mechanical upkeep helps extend the life of your vessel and ensures it performs at its best.

Taking care of your boat’s systems means more time enjoying it on the water.
