As of January 1st, 2022 boaters are now required to remove drain plugs and take reasonable precautions to remove all aquatic plants, animals, and algae from their boats immediately upon removing the watercraft from a waterbody. In addition, boaters are also required to ensure their watercraft is free of all aquatic plants, animals, and algae before arriving at a boat launch or launching their boat in any Ontario waterbody. To make this simple, the NDMNRF has published a guide designed to provide watercraft users with practical options to comply with provincial rules.
