The District of Kitimat and Leisure Services Department is proud to promote boating and water safety in our community. Know the rules of boating and stay safe in the water. Visit Transport Canada for more information. Boating LicenseAll operators of recreational powerboats in Canada now require a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, commonly known as a Canadian Boating License. Boaters caught without an Operator Card risk a minimum $250.00 fine. BOATsmart!® educates and certifies boaters for their Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Our mission is to promote a safe, enjoyable and environmentally friendly use of Canada's waterways. Take the official exam online and obtain your Pleasure Craft Operator Card, commonly referred to as a Canadian Boating License. Once obtained, the official BOATsmart!® Operator Card is good for life. Boating Restrictions for YouthBoat operators under the age of 16 must also comply with other requirements. Restrictions are imposed on the horsepower (hp) (or kilowatt (kW)) capacity of the motor of the boat they wish to operate. Wear a Lifejacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFDs)You are required by law to have a lifejacket or PFD (Personal Flotation Device) on board for each person on a watercraft.
