Local restrictions have been placed on some Canadian waterways to promote public safety. Some of these regulations include a ban on motorized boats, maximum engine power limits, speed limits and a ban on recreational towing activities. The regulations also limit where certain types of boats may or may not be permitted to operate in Canada.  Operators are required to comply with these regulations and should check locally for more information. 

The Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations limit where certain types of boats are restricted from operating or where special conditions apply (like swimming areas).
