Marine Notice 1: Check Active Notices to Shipping
Marine Notice 2: All operators of motorized vessels must now have their Pleasure Craft Operator's Certificate (PCOC) or other valid proof of marine competency. The card must be carried aboard the vessel, fines start at $250. Boaters should expect police and other agency enforcement of this law. Read more Transport Canada has recently changed the PCOC examination standards, the number of questions has been revised from 36 to 50, and a mandatory three hour study period added that must be completed before candidates can access the online test. Current holders do not need to retake this latest tougher exam as PCOC cards do not expire.
