Safety, it's part of our nature
Water Activities
Outdoor water activities involve a certain amount of risks, many of which can lead to drowning. On, in or near water, preparation and prevention are the key to a safe and enjoyable experience. Put all the chances on your side; make safety your priority.
BEFORE YOU GO
Water activities require certain skills. Before your first outing, it is recommended that you take a training course or invite an experienced person to accompany you.
Make a plan that suits your abilities and those of your partners. Contact the park you will be visiting to learn the suggested routes, the characteristics of the body of water and the risks involved, and regulations regarding swimming, which is not permitted everywhere.
Check the weather. If necessary, change your itinerary or postpone your activity.
Dress appropriately for the season and wear closed-toe shoes with slip-proof soles.
In a drybag, bring along the essentials: a means of communication, water and food, a map of the area, a first-aid kit, and contingency supplies.
Prepare your craft and the equipment legally required by Transport Canada. Make sure everything is in working order.
Inform a close friend about your itinerary and its duration. This person will be your guardian angel and can notify emergency services should you go missing.
Make sure you know the rules and regulations, and hours of operation. Get a pass at the park entrance or online.
WHEN OUT ON THE WATER
Write down the emergency contact number and the procedure to follow when in areas without mobile phone coverage.
Wear your PFD at all times: on the water, in the water and around bodies of water.
Respect your limits and your knowledge. Return to shore if the weather is unstable or conditions make it difficult to navigate.
Prevent fatigue! Stay close to the shore. Take regular breaks for food and drink. Whenever possible, go against the current or with a headwind and come back with the current or a tailwind.
Leave early enough to complete your activity before dark or have the necessary equipment to remain safe after sunset.
It is wiser not go out on your own.
WHEN YOU RETURN
Let your guardian angel know once you are back.
Let park staff know of any breakage or potentially dangerous areas observed during your visit.
