Boating, Safety & Emergencies

Home
Boating, Safety & Emergencies

We sit on both the Provincial and Federal Recreational Boating Committees to offer governments input on rules and regulations for licensing, speed, navigational aids and the wearing of PFDs.

We work with the OPP, Canadian Safe Boating Council, Safe Quiet Lakes, and fellow cottager associations such as the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA) and Boating Ontario (the marina operators’ association) to ensure continued boating safety and mutual respect between boaters and cottagers.

We consult with the OPP, the Coast Guard, Ministry of Natural Resources and Fire (MNRF) and ORNGE on issues of importance for our members.
