Even though we can’t put boats out on the water with access to marinas closed, there are a number of ways to prepare your boat for the season on dry land.
OPP Sergeant Dave Hackney from the Marine Unit tells us one of things people can do before heading out, is to make sure you have enough lifejackets.
This is Safe Boating Awareness Week (22nd to 28th).
Hackney says boaters should also make sure their vessel has enough fuel to last the trip.
