    OPP Marine Unit Patrols Continue Ahead of Thanksgiving Weekend

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (MIDLAND, ON) – As the Thanksgiving long weekend approaches, members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Marine Unit continue to maintain a visible presence on area waterways, albeit at a reduced level, as seasonal cottage closures begin.

    Between September 29 and October 2, 2025, officers conducted 24 hours of marine patrol, checking vessels for required safety equipment and signs of operator impairment. These proactive efforts resulted in two operators being charged and six individuals educated under the Canada Shipping Act.

    During recent patrols, marine officers had the opportunity to meet Ontario Lieutenant Governor Edith Dumont, along with her staff and command personnel from the Royal Canadian Navy ship HMCS Margaret Brooke, who were visiting the Midland area.

    As we head into the long weekend, the OPP and its water safety partners remind boaters to remain vigilant, especially with cooler weather conditions. Officers will continue to enforce lifejacket compliance and remove impaired operators from the waterways, in accordance with Ministry of Transportation (ADLS) guidelines.

    Wearing a lifejacket significantly increases your chances of survival if you fall overboard. Ensure your vessel is equipped with the appropriate number of approved lifejackets or floater suits for all occupants. For more information on boating safety, visit – Transport Canada – Office of Boating Safety

    If you suspect an impaired operator on the water, Make the Call – dial 911 to help prevent a marine tragedy. And always keep an eye on the sky for changing weather conditions.
