Sergeant Dave Moffatt reminds boaters to be ready for the season, including the required equipment you need to have on-board when you get out on the water.
The OPP is providing a Safe Boating Guide that enthusiasts can download.
They say with it being early in the season the water will be cold and hypothermic.
Police add that wearing a PFD will give you that extra chance at survival.
You can find a link to the Safe Boating Guide and Sergeant Moffat’s video below.
