Have You Been Carded Yet?

Roughly six million or 2/3 of the estimated 9 million people who enjoy Canadian waterways each year have failed to be carded.

Are you one?

With the ever increasing popularity of recreational boating the federal government introduced new requirements in 1999 under the Competency of Operator of Pleasure Craft Regulations that now require all operators to have taken a competency test and to retain and carry a proof of competency card.

There are approximately six thousand boating incidents with 150 fatalities and hundreds of injuries across Canada each year.

Everyone who "operates"

a motor powered (boat) craft (under power or not), including non residents who have a pleasure craft in Canadian waters for more than 45 days in the year, is required to have one. Not having one on you could cost you a $250.00  fine or more

In General

The transport Canada web site contains the following information

All operators of Pleasure Craft fitted with a motor are now required to have proof of competency on board.

Proof of competency can take one of three forms: 

•  
  • proof of having successfully completed a boating safety course in Canada prior to April 1, 1999
  • a Pleasure Craft Operator Card issued following the successful completion of an accredited test
  • a completed rental-boat safety checklist (for power-driven rental boats, valid for the rental period)
