The warm weekends are finally here, which means more people are out in city parks and on city rivers.
If rafting is one of your favourite pastimes, there are some tips you may want to keep in mind.
Rafters are free to enjoy a cold one, providing that it is a soft drink or a bottle of water. Alcohol is not permitted in any watercraft.
There are also several pieces of equipment that boaters are required to have under federal legislation. City by-law boss Bill Bruce tells 660News, they include a signal device, a bailing bucket and a life line.
Rafters are also reminded that under city by-laws, everyone is required to wear a life jacket while on any watercraft.
