Safety Equipment and Flare Disposal Days
Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS-ECP) is excited to announce their partnership with Transport Canada and CIL Dealers to undertake a project on education and awareness of safety equipment, the care and maintenance of that equipment and how to safely and effectively use and dispose of flares. Check out their website to learn everything that the CPS- ECP has to offer – including informative boating courses for the Pleasure Craft Operator Card.
Have Your Flares Expired?
If your flares have a manufacture date of 2017 or earlier they have or will expire this year. You can’t light them, throw them in the water or in your household garbage to dispose of them.
Disposing of expired flares has been an ongoing dilemma for boaters across the country. To help boaters dispose of expired flares in a safe and environmentally responsible manner CPS-ECP and selected CIL Dealers are hosting Safety Equipment Education and Flare Disposal Days. On these days, you will be offered the opportunity to learn about required safety equipment and you can bring your outdated marine flares to be properly disposed of, free of charge.
Flares are only accepted directly from the recreational boating public. Flares will not be accepted from any companies, organizations, service clubs or municipalities.
