Pleasure Craft Courtesy Check Program (PCCC)
It's
Free!
Starting spring 2006, CPS-ECP is embarking on an
exciting new program to assist Ontario boaters better prepare their
vessels and themselves for the coming season.
Working with Transport Canada, our Boating Safety Specialists will visit
you at your marina or launch ramp to review many of the safety devices
either required by law or recommended for your specific boat.
You will receive a report from the Specialist that provides a summary of
what they found and any safety improvements they may suggest. If your
boat passes the check you will receive a decal to display.
The program is free of charge and provided as a courtesy only. The
information collected is used strictly for safety statistics and not
enforcement. If you have a boat in the Barrie area and wish to receive a
free check please contact us by email.
