cheeler Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 and 4 Darwin Awards averted by the fire department. http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Calgary+...9893/story.html Maybe we should call up the accounting office and tell them how much money could be made from handing out tickets.

AndyW Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I learned something new watching the evening news. You are required to wear a lifejacket while on the river within the City, it is a bylaw. The federal reg is to just have them in the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they figured there wouldn't be anyone else checking between there and the city limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0Danger Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 But i thought water was federal jurisdiction not the cities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfisher Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 But i thought water was federal jurisdiction not the cities? It is federal jurisdiction but the City can impose bylaws that are more restrictive but not less. So the Feds say it just has to be in the boat and the City says it has to be on the person therefore if you have it on you are still complying with Federal law.
