Please note: most boating restrictions are
the responsibility of Transport Canada Marine. They are published as a courtesy to anglers
but, due to space limitations, may not be complete. For
more information please write to the Transport Canada Marine,

Notice to Boaters
Please be aware that many large lakes
in the province have boating safety restrictions in specific
areas. These restrictions are identified by buoys
and/or signs and typically mark swimming areas or speed
restrictions. Your compliance with these safety restrictions
is appreciated.
