Do not place a sign that restricts the operation of any vessel in Canadian waters without the authorization of the Minister. Signs must comply with VORR requirements. VORR’s prohibit the placement of signs or symbols on control buoys and keep-out buoys unless they are otherwise authorized under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 or another Act of Parliament, such as the CNWA. 2. Do not change, hide, damage or destroy any authorized sign or use a sign for mooring purposes. 3. Respect restrictions conveyed in an authorized sign when boating. 4. Do not hold a sporting, recreational, or public event in waters specified in Schedule 8 of the VORR11, unless authorized by a permit issued by the Minister. 5. Do not hold a sporting, recreational, or public event or activity in any waters in a manner or at a place that would unnecessarily obstruct navigation. 6. Under the VORR, an enforcement officer may direct or prohibit the movement of vessels to ensure compliance with the requirements for safe vessel operation. Note: Any person who does not comply with these regulations may be charged with an offense.

  • Armies and Public Security Missions Juan Rial
    Armies and Public Security Missions Juan Rial / RESDAL Approach. Introduction Over the past decade various Latin American countries have developed reflec- 1 tions and experiences that are relevant to the missions of armies in the context of the current and future challenges confronting the security and defence sectors. This has included the need to tackle complex themes related to characteristics of conflicts that are under study not just in this region but across the world, such as violence and citizen insecurity or the increased risks posed by natural disasters, issues that among other things require doctrines and plans to be updated. This supposes the study and analysis of tendencies, the elaboration of roadmaps, and dialogue with the distinct strands of domestic stakeholders. As a result of a project directed by RESDAL and funded by the Canadian Global Peace and Security Fund, this paper seeks to contribute to the process of trans- formation set in motion by the Colombian Army, promoting a transmission of experiences from the Latin American region at a time when the current Colom- bian experience – a 21st century post-conflict process - is put into the spotlight. Defi nitions, Myths and Realities National defence is understood to concern the political and military activities 2Defence developed by modern states to avoid or to repel military attacks that other states could eventually carry out.1 A more up-to-date concept includes a re- sponse to the threats provided by non-state actors, such as, for example, ter- rorist groups, companies, etc., generally transnational in nature, that resort to illegal practices.

    CANADA’S OCEANS PROTECTION PLAN The Plan: Summary Canada is a maritime nation, with more coastline than any other country in the world. Canadians rely on their coasts and waterways for recreation, to deliver products to market, and to earn their livelihood, but also cherish them for cultural reasons. The Oceans Protection Plan will help keep Canadians waters and coasts safe and clean, for today’s use and for future generations. The Government of Canada will partner with Indigenous and coastal communities to develop a world-leading marine safety system that meets the unique needs of Canada from coast-to-coast-to-coast. All Canadians, and especially coastal communities, need confidence that commercial shipping is taking place in a way that is safe for mariners and that protects and sustains the economic, environmental, social, and cultural health of our oceans and coasts. Canada will invest $1.5 billion over five years in long-needed coastal protections, with an action plan to deliver results for the coming decade. This Plan will engage communities, first responders, and governing authorities to work together effectively to respond to emergencies. World-leading marine safety system The national Oceans Protection Plan is designed to achieve a world-leading marine safety system for our country’s unique context that will increase the Government of Canada’s capacity to prevent and improve response to marine pollution incidents. Better information sharing of marine traffic with coastal communities Real-time awareness of marine traffic in Canadian waters Indigenous and coastal communities expect that more local data on marine traffic (who is doing what and where) will be shared in a user-friendly way that meets their needs.
