Discover Boating Contest at the Discover Boating Booth in
Prospect 11: Click here for
contest information (PDF) The purpose
of the Discover Boating Centre is simple – to help people become
boaters. No matter what your level of involvement in boating, there
is something for everyone to see, learn and enjoy. If you are
planning to buy your first boat, you can speak to our expert staff
to learn about different boat types and what boat is right for you
and your family. Or, if you have been boating for some time, you may
be looking for information on moving up in size, buying new for the
first time after buying pre-owned in the past or perhaps getting
into a new type of boating altogether. Want to know about boating
courses, safety information, boat financing? All your boating
questions can be answered at the Discover Boating Centre.

Card. Have Boat. Have Summer. Get your
Boat Card. It’s the law!
Did you know that Boaters in Canada need
to have their Pleasure Craft Operators Card if they are operating a
power boat under 4 metres? Boaters born after April 1, 1983 need to
have the card to operate any size power boat. All Boaters in Canada
operating power boats need to have their card by 2009.
