How many Canadian approved lifejackets or pfds are required to carry on board your boat?

In Canada, the number of approved lifejackets or personal flotation devices (PFDs) required on a boat depends on the number of persons on board. You must have one approved lifejacket or PFD for each person on the boat. Additionally, if the boat is over 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) in length, it must carry at least one buoyant heaving line and other safety equipment as per Transport Canada regulations. Always ensure that the lifejackets or PFDs are in good condition and easily accessible.
