The WaterWise Boat Safety Team is very pleased to have ended their season with a busy few weeks. After an incredible weekend spent in Steveston for the Richmond Maritime Festival, Mandy and Christine have been spending the majority of their time on the water. The Team has had the opportunity to talk to many boaters, retailers, and marinas, and have been impressed with the interest and willingness to comply with the regulations and requirements. Some of the highlights of the season for the Boat Safety Team were trips to CowichanLake, the Harrison Lake Dragonfest, and the beautiful Indian Arm.
With the summer coming to a close, the WaterWise Boat Safety Team would like to summarize some frequently asked questions from the public. The PCOC course providers list, along with all things boating related, can be found in the last few pages of the Safe Boating Guide. Another favorite venue to find the required safety equipment for your size of boat as well as other useful information is smartboater.ca.
