RCMP has charged a Langley man for operating a vessel without due care or consideration for other persons at Cultus Lake.
Shortly after 10:15 am on July 29, Chilliwack RCMP responded to a report that a motor boat had collided with an Indigenous racing canoe on Cultus Lake near Main Beach.
Front line officers located the lone occupant of the canoe, who was transported to hospital and then released.
RCMP has now charged a 67-year-old man from Langley with Canada Shipping Act (CSA) Small Vessel Regulation.
Water ways are busy with visitors from around our region and safety is a priority, says Corporal Mike Rail spokesperson for the UFVRD.
“Safety remains our priority and we encourage everyone to be respectful and aware of others sharing the area,” he said,” he said.
