Boat Safe

Our Enjoy Responsibly message for the month of July is aimed to raise awareness of BOATsmart and to ensure safe boating. This means zero tolerance when boating.

As part of staying safe on the water, did you know that all boaters in BC are required to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, regardless of age, size, boat or engine horsepower? You can get your card at www.BoatSmartExam.com.

Lifesaving Society Water Smart® Fact: One of the biggest dangers of boating is one that any boater can control — their alcohol consumption. Alcohol adversely affects balance, judgement and reaction time. Piloting your boat while under the influende isn't just dangerous, it's a serious criminal code offense.

Be safe this summer when on the water and wait until you are on dry land to consume alcohol. Think About It. Boat Sober!
