Boating in Canada
Canadians love hitting the waterways and recreational boating has become a favourite pastime for many. In fact, there are over 9 million recreational boaters in Canada. Sadly, not all boaters survive. On average there are 120 boating fatalities in Canada per year and there are thousands of unreported non-fatal accidents occurring each year. What’s worse is that most of these deaths were preventable as they were caused by a lack of basic boating knowledge and skill.
