Mandatory water safety equipment in Quebec

- A personal flotation device (PFD) for each person on board. Each life jacket must be approved by Transport Canada and be of the appropriate size for each of the individuals in the vessel;

- A buoyant heaving line with a minimum length of 15 meters, i.e. a rope that will be thrown to a person who has fallen into the water. As its name suggests, this rope must be able to float, but it must also be in good condition;

- A sound signalling device, such as a pea-less whistle;
