What You Should Bring Mark Walters. Near our boat house in Chapleau.

Compulsory equipment for your boat which you should bring:

Please bring a life jacket for every person in your group. The life jackets must have the Department of Transport or Coast Guard approval label.

Please also bring a flashlight for each boat.

Also please bring for your stay with us

Food for a week. You can buy your food much cheaper and easier at home and bring two weeks supply through customs duty free. You can get more here if you run short because there is a super market (just one) in Chapleau where the locals shop. After driving this far you are likely to be tired and shopping at a strange store will be the last thing you need. Besides, prices are higher here due to lack of competition.
