The Canadian Power & Sail Squadron event is specifically for pleasure craft customers only with small quantities of expired flares, not commercial customers.

Disposing of expired flares has been an ongoing dilemma for boaters across the country.

If your flares have a manufacture date of 2018 or before, they will expire this year.

To help boaters dispose of expired flares safely and environmentally responsibly, CPS-ECP and selected CIL Dealers are hosting Safety Equipment Education and Flare Disposal Days, May 14th.

You can bring your outdated flares to be appropriately disposed of, free of charge.
