Introduction: In April 1999, the regulations governing recreational boating changed. One of the primary reasons for these changes is that the number of people involved in recreational boating has increased dramatically in recent years. It is estimated that between 7 and 9 million people are on the Canadian waterways each year. The sheer volume of use alone indicates a need for all operators to know the rules and regulations about safe boating. However, a more compelling reason is that it is further estimated that there are over 200 boating related deaths every year; most of these are preventable. These figures don’t even include an estimated 6,000 unreported non-fatal incidents every year that include serious personal injuries, property loss or the risk of such catastrophes. The most significant changes include the requirement for operators of pleasure craft to have an operator card and the age requirements to operate craft fitted with a motor. The two tables below summarize the requirements:
