Paddling at Night
Night Paddling rules are in effect all year round.
The following is required when paddling at night (Sunset to Sunrise):
1. All paddlers:
Must wear, or mount on the boat, a non-flashing ("solid") white light which is clearly visible all around the boat.
This is in accordance with Transport Canada's requirements for Navigation Lights: for "Human-powered Pleasure Craft", a solid white light, visible 360° around the boat (see also the complete Safe Boating Guide, pages 40-43).
2. For Coach boats:
The bow (front) of the boat must have a red light on the Port (left) side, and a Starboard (right) green light; the stern (back) of the boat must have a white light.
This red/green/white directional-lighting is in accordance with TC's "Power Boats under 12m" category .
3. All paddlers require a partner when paddling in the dark - no solo paddling!
4. Do not paddle West of the Burrard Street Bridge
