Canada’s vast coastlines, amazing lakes and winding
rivers are a dream to explore by canoe, kayak or raft.
Ocean paddling requires knowledge of ocean currents,
weather patterns and how to survive a storm. River
paddling requires an understanding of the power of
the river and the ability to roll or survive a flip
in very cold water.
Whatever you love to do, have all the necessary skills
and gear to be safe on the water:
- Take a safe boating course and make sure all your
gear is in good shape.
- Check the weather forecast and be prepared for
it to change.
- Be visible. It is especially difficult for power-driven
vessel operators to see canoes/kayaks. Choose bright
colours - red, yellow or orange - for your PFD and
canoe/kayak.
