Boating season has started in the province and there are a few things to remember.
Many of the same rules for driving a car apply when driving out on the water. Do not drink and drive, respect speed limits and other boats, and make sure to have the proper safety equipment onboard. RCMP in Manitoba will be doing boat patrols throughout the summer. All boaters must have their Pleasure Craft Operator Card, as well as personal ID. If you are found operating a boat without the operator’s card,you could receive a 300-dollar fine. Other boating infractions start at 120 dollars.
