Safe Boating Week

May 17-23, 2025

Safe Boating Awareness Week has been the mainstay of boating safety and is a week-long annual event that is recognized by boating communities not just in Canada but worldwide.  

In Canada, over 16 million people enjoy recreational boating. And this number continues to go up each boating season as many people new to boating are taking to the water for the first time.

Although this ‘new’ to boating group has made boating safety information more critical than ever before, boating safety was still an important communication by boating safety educators and advocates to make boaters more aware of their roles and responsibilities to themselves, their passengers, other boaters and those on shore.
