In an effort to protect the environment, shoreline property owners and the safety of all boaters and swimmers, a Standardized Shoreline Speed Limit of 10 km/h within 30 metres of shore was established by Transport Canada and is regulated under the Boating Restriction Regulations, part of the Canada Shipping Act. It is illegal to operate at greater than the unposted Standardized Shoreline Speed Limit of 10 km/h (6 mph) within 30 metres (100 feet) of shore in the waters of Ontario. This limit is in effect whether it is posted or not. This rule concerning safe speed applies to every type of water vessel. The operator should always be aware of what’s happening on the water. It is important to take all circumstances into consideration which could potentially place the vessel and other vessels in a dangerous situation. The operator must also avoid endangering the safety of persons involved in any activity in all waters. While navigating, you should always be on the lookout for and pay close attention to swimmers. Important You must know and follow the unposted 10 km/h speed limit within 30 metres of shore when you are boating. If you do not respect this speed restriction, you could be fined. For further information, please refer to Transport Canada’s VORR Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations (SOR/2008-120) 🚨 See a Boater Breaking the Rules? Here’s what to do! 🌊 If you witness a boater speeding near shore or operating unsafely: ✅ Note the vessel’s registration number ✅ Record the time, location, and details ✅ Report it to: 📞 OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) 📱 1-888-310-1122 (non-emergency) 📟 OR call 911 in an emergency 🌲 MNRF TIPS Line (for natural resource violations) 📞 1-877-847-7667 💻 Report online: ontario.ca/page/report-resource-violation Let’s work together to keep our waterways safe and respectful for everyone. 💙
