Safety Tips For Flare Disposal Days

Do Not Ignite: Flares are for emergencies only. Lighting them outside of distress situations is illegal.
Do Not Discard in Trash: Flares are hazardous waste and must not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins.
Do Not Throw Overboard: Flares contain toxic chemicals that can harm marine life and pollute waterways.

Support & Funding
With Transport Canada no longer funding flare disposal programs, the CPS Foundation has partnered with CIL to ensure these vital services continue. Their support covers costs associated with the safe collection and neutralization of expired flares, promoting safer boating practices nationwide.
