Here it is Russ,
https://www.tc.gc.ca/documents/2019-2020-AA-36-COVID-19_SOCIAL_DISTANCING_BOATERS_17x11_EN_V05_ACC.PDF
The problem I have with the social distancing guidelines is that there is no
provision for safety concerns or variations for the length of the vessel. As
you are no doubt aware the safety requirements are based upon vessel length but
with these guidelines there is no provision for the length of the vessel. So
on a larger vessel, where you could maintain social or physical distancing and
safely operate the vessel with a few crew the guidelines seem overly
restrictive. Here the current limit for gatherings is 5 at the present time.
The image of a canoe doesn’t do a lot for the credibility of this poster.
I assume as these are guidelines only they are not legally binding and do not
override safety considerations; however, it seems none of the sailing
associations do anything to challenge these guidelines, they just accept them.

Hi Rod,
Do you have a link for that Transport Canada notice?
I can't find anything about it... seems kinda odd though, being as small
boats are typically a provincial jurisdiction. Although there are a ton of tiny
bureaucrats jumping on this covid flu thing to enhance their own importance.
We had the RCMP at some boat ramps discouraging people from going out to fish
at the same time the Chief Public Health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, was telling
people to get outside.
Weird times indeed. It might be time to regain some of our rights since the
hospitals are empty and not overwhelming them was the whole purpose of lockdown.
Cheers, Russ
