It has been a busy weekend for members of the Southern Georgian Bay OPP’s Marine Patrol.
It conducted 46 hours of patrol on the waters of Georgian Bay within the towns of Midland and Penetanguishene and the Townships of Tiny, Tay and Georgian Bay over the weekend—stopping and checking 29 vessels for proper vessel equipment and driver sobriety.
Police say two vessel operators were charged for violations under the Canada Shipping Act and four other operators were warned for minor infractions under the Small Vessel Regulations Act.
Officers also continued to reward young vessel operators and passengers who were observed wearing their Life Jacket with the popular “I Got Caught Wearing My Life Jacket” T-Shirt!
