: Boat under 19' 6" (6m) Required: Appoved Lifejacket
: Bouyant Heaving Line 50' (15m)
: Paddle OR anchor
: Bailer
: Sound-signaling appliance (Whistle)
: Nav Lights after sunset.

: Over 19' 6" (6m) also 6 flares.

You are exempt from carrying pyrotechnic distress signals if:

* operating in a river, canal or lake in which it can at no time be more than one mile from shore; OR

* engaged in an official competition or in final preparation for an official competition and has no sleeping arrangements.

Here in Alberta it is pretty difficult to get more than a mile from shore
so I don't carry flares in my double.
