GET YOUR BOATER'S LICENSE AT TONS O' TACKLE

By September 15, 2009, everyone who operates a motorized pleasure craft must carry proof of competency on board at all times. Proof of competency is not required for pleasure craft without motors. Right now, you must have proof of competency on board if you were born after April 1, 1983, or if you are operating a motorized boat under 4 m (13’1”). This includes a personal watercraft. The operator competency requirements do not currently apply in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Proof of competency can take one of three different forms: a Pleasure Craft Operator Card; proof, such as a course certificate, that you have successfully completed a boating safety course in Canada before April 1, 1999; or a completed rental boat safety checklist. The Pleasure Craft Operator Card is good for life. Remember to make a photocopy of your card as soon as you get it so it can be replaced if it is lost.
