The Canadian boating environment is one of beauty, adventure, and numerous recreational opportunities. This network of lakes, rivers, oceans, and canals is a valuable resource and requires a responsible attitude of sharing with others and caring for the natural as well as purpose-built environments.
Waterways are a vital part of the economic infrastructure and form transportation and work environments for many Canadians. The security of shipping lanes, vessels, and ports also has an impact on recreational boating activity. Boaters must observe safe boating and environmental practices and be aware of local restrictions and special zones.
