(NC)—On average, 150 people die on Canadian waterways every year in boating accidents. Many of those deaths are preventable. You never know what could happen while you're out on the water. Keeping this fact in mind, Transport Canada reminds boaters to:
• Always wear a lifejacket and make sure your vessel is equipped with enough Canadian-approved lifejackets for each of your guests.
• Have proof of competency on board at all times.
• Take a boating safety course.
• Know the rules of the road.
• Carry the required safety equipment for your vessel such as paddles, bailer, flashlight, buoyant line, anchor etc.
• Keep clear of swimmers, divers and other vessels.
• Navigate your boat on the correct side of the buoy.
• Wear proper clothing and check the weather forecast before setting out.
Whether you're a boater, diver, angler, hunter or water sports enthusiast, there are rules and information you should know before heading out on the water. For the latest information on how to stay safe on Canadian waters, visit www.boatingsafety.gc.ca.
