As boaters, paddlers, swimmers, surfers – however we choose to get out and enjoy our waterways, we have a responsibility and an active role to play in taking care of them for the future.
Whether it’s an ocean, lake, river, or even your backyard pond – every waterway matters. These guides are designed to help you navigate the different ways you can make a difference in protecting your slice of Canadian paradise!
Help us reduce pollution, protect marine mammals, create a sustainable approach to waterway use and make Canada a leader in environmentally-safe boating around the world.
It’s very easy to become overwhelmed by the environmental problems that we face on waterways globally, but the best thing to do is just start by being part of the solution – one step at a time.
Resources have been created for you by the CPS-ECP National Environment Committee.
