The Act that covers this is the FWCA. And yes, a bicycle is considered a vehicle under the FWCA.

As for the definition surrounding canoe, it is not considered a motor vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act, but it is under the Criminal Code when it comes to impaired driving, etc. Under the FWCA, a canoe is considered a "boat".

Yes it is a boat.. But it is not under motor power... The act states a boat with a motor.. (Exception. Being when hunting migratory birds)

“vehicle” means any kind of vehicle that is driven, propelled or drawn on land or ice by any kind of power, including muscular power, and includes the rolling stock of a railway; (“véhicule”)

There is even a bicycle made specifically for hunting, has a scabbard for both gun and bow, over sized tires for rough terrain.

Actually, FWIW, a canoe is not a motor vehicle under the code, where impaired operation is concerned.
It is a vessel.

So what does that mean in regard to impaired operation of a canoe? Can one be charged for that?

Apology to the OP for derailing the thread a bit by shifting from bikes to canoes. Just curious.

I love riding bicycles. Wish I had more time to ride....
My major problem is sweating! How am I supposed to deal with that? :scream:

In real life, the path is hilly, muddy, and bumpy. I am carrying gear and firearm, plus wearing heavy clothing.
As much as I'd love to hunt on a bicycle, it doesn't seem too practical to me... :rolleyes:

Yeah OK, Mom. So no one here has never had a couple pops and then paddled? I'm not talking about slurring, staggering, falling down drunk. I'm talking about a beer or three on the deck of a cottage, and then taking a canoe out for a paddle or to throw a few casts.
