Reporting the Findings
In September, the VORR Committee presented its findings to the Rural Municipality of Lac du Bonnet, VORR Report: Waterway Safety Along the Pinawa Channel and Lee River.Â
The Rural Municipality of Lac du Bonnet submitted its VORR request to Transportation Canada for review. A VORR Application can take two or more years to review, and the timeframe may even be longer as Transporation Canada has not had a VORR Application in the past 30 years.
The VORR, along with the recommendation of a Safe Boating Ambassador Committee for Lac du Bonnet waterway safety and etiquette education, will help make our waterways safer for all to enjoy.
