(MUNCIPALITY OF GREY HIGHLANDS, ON) – On Thursday, August 7, 2014 members of the Grey County Ontario Provincial Police Marine Unit were on patrol on Lake Eugenia in the Municipality of Grey Highlands.
At approximately 4:22 p.m., officers stopped an 8 horsepower, 14’ aluminum boat on the lake after the operator was observed consuming alcohol.
Paul CANCIAN, 46, of Vaughan, Ontario was issued a Provincial Offence Notice under the Liquor Licence Act.
Grey County OPP remind boaters to leave the beer on the pier. Anyone caught drinking and boating face similar consequences to drinking and driving. This includes power boats, canoes, kayaks, sail boats and personal watercraft.
Remember, Operation Lookout is in effect on the water just as it is on land. If you observe an impaired vessel operator call 9-1-1 and report it.
