Police say that a man was arrested for DRUNK CANOEING on Christina Lake.
“…When you’re boating you are not just dealing with yourself – there are other people using the waterway whether it’s swimmers or other boaters, and you’re not making good decisions when you’re in your boat. You could end up posing a hazard to those people and cause death or injury.”
…
“Canoeing while intoxicated is actually prohibited under criminal law. So it’s operation of any vessel – and because the definition of ‘vessel’ in the criminal code and in other marine laws includes canoes and other vessels that are powered by your physical power, that’s why we have laws against drunk canoeing.”
