Transport Canada requires that you carry some safety items while canoeing (or kayaking).
- An approved pfd or lifejacket for each person on board
- A sound making device (we recommend a whistle on your pfd)
- A bailing device (or pump)
- A minimum 15m buoyant heaving line (a commercially available throwbag is best)
- A light if you're travelling at night
If you're a trip leader or guide there are additional requirements.
