In the month of April 2021 alone, 3,807 new Pleasure Craft Operator Cards, which allow individuals to operate non-commercial boats, were issued across Canada. Of these, the highest numbers were in Ontario (1,825), Québec (922), and British Columbia (448).

With Canadians going on more local vacations over the last year, the country has seen an increased interest in boating, to explore the country’s 243,042 kilometres of coastline, including the mainland and offshore islands of Canada. This is the most in the entire world. Furthermore, lakes make up approximately nine percent of Canada’s 9.985 million square kilometres, which is also more than any other country.
