(NC)—Recreational boaters have options when it comes to
lifejackets and personal flotation devices (PFDs). Manufacturers of PFDs now have the flexibility
to incorporate comfort and fashion, meaning you have a wider range of approved types and colours to
choose from. PFDs come in a variety of styles and inflatable configurations, but orange, yellow and
red will keep you most visible when in the water.
When choosing, remember that Canadian boats
must be equipped with Canadian-approved PFDs or lifejackets of appropriate sizes for each person on
board. More information on what to look for in a lifejacket or PFD is available at
www.boatingsafety.gc.ca or call toll-free
