Boating Safety for Hunters and Anglers (Quebec region) - News Releases - Transport Canada

MONTRAL Transport Canada is reminding hunters and anglers to take extra care while out on our backcountry lakes and rivers this fall. More than 40 per cent of boating deaths in the province involve hunters/ anglers. Small boats are prone to swamping and capsizing on remote cold lakes, so boaters should always wear a life-jacket. Transport Canada is working with its partners, such as the police, conservation officers and federal fisheries officers, to ensure hunters and anglers are prepared for safe boating.
