Under the Oceans Protection Plan, Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety delivered a small vessel safety component of the Boating Safety Contribution Program. In addition, the Office of Boating Safety increased its education and outreach activities in Indigenous communities along the Trans Mountain Expansion Project marine shipping route.
During the next phase of the Oceans Protection Plan, Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety will receive operational funding to continue to improve recreational boating awareness across the country. This includes increasing the number of education and engagement activities on the importance of following safe boating practices to foster safe behaviour and reduce overall boating-related fatalities, incidents and property damage.
