The safety gear Canada requires in a canoe or sit-in kayak

Every canoe and sit-in kayak, the kind you sit inside, must carry a lifejacket or PFD (personal flotation device) for each person on board. It also needs a floating rope at least 15 m long to throw to someone in the water, a bailer or hand bilge pump to empty water from the boat, and a whistle or horn. After sunset or in fog, add a watertight flashlight. On a sit-on-top or a paddleboard, a whistle or horn is all you have to carry by day if you wear your PFD. Our safety kit holds approved PFDs for an adult and a youth, a whistle, a hand bilge pump and a throw bag of floating rope. Untick what's already in your boat.
