BOATsmart! Base de connaissances du Canada 

Enjoying Canada’s waterways is one of our greatest summer pastimes. While we all want to have fun and enjoy a day on the water, sharing the waterways with others means operating in a safe and courteous manner.

Safety underway means:

• Understanding and taking into account the effects of being on the water
• Choosing a safe and appropriate speed
• Knowing the proper techniques for reducing risk while operating at high speeds
• Knowing how to operate safely amongst other boat traffic during the day or night and sharing the waterways with others
