  • Do you have your Pleasure Craft Operator Card?

A Pleasure Craft Operator Card is required to operate power-driven boats and watercraft in Canada - It’s The Law.

The closest motorized boating large lake is Koocanusa, a 30 minutes drive SW of Fernie.  Learn more at Kikonum Creek Provincial Park.

Every person who operates a motorized boat in Canada must obtain proof of competency. You can obtain a Pleasure Craft Operator Card by passing a Transport Canada Accredited boating safety test. Getting your Operator Card proves that you are a competent boater and ensures that you understand Canada’s navigation rules and how to boat safely.

Boaters can obtain their official Pleasure Craft Operator Card, commonly known as a boat license or boat card, by successfully passing the BOATsmart! exam.
