PUBLIC CONSULTATION MEETINGS

CANADIAN COAST GUARD -
SIMALL VESSEL PARTNERSHIPS

Recreational boating is a shared responsibility. The Canadian Coast
Guard, through its Small Vessel Partnerships initiative, is proposing to
work with other levels of government and the boating community to:
develop a system of shared, funded and improved smail vessel safety
services across the country. The objective is an efficient, affordable,
comprehensive and client-focused program.

The Coast Guard wants to hear your views on its proposals to:
e modernize tiie current vessel licensing system;
° institute mandatory training for veesel operztors;
¢ enhance waterways enforcement; and

* increase participation of volunteer and community groups in the
- delivery of safety services, enforcement and emergency beater
assistance.

The proposals involve the implementation of a ravised and fully-funded
vessel licensing system that includes a licence fee; new rules that would
require boaters to demonstrate a minimum jevel of knowledge and skill
before heading to the water; more active and consistent enforcement of .”
existing boating rules; and involvement of a network of volunteer and
community groups to maintain a safe boating environment.

The Coast Guard would like public input on these proposals to ensure
that the needs of the boating community are prcperly reflected in the
new system. Accordingly, you are invited to attend a public meeting on:

April29 North Vancouver April 30 Richmond
