Alcohol:
Ontario law prohibits drinking alcohol in a public place, including park lands and facilities. It is legal to drink on board your boat (if it's docked, moored or anchored and contains living facilities) or within the marked boundaries of a camp-site. It is illegal in Ontario to "display liquor to the public" (i.e. don't display a bottle on the cockpit table). Most park regulations and provincial laws are enforced by Police (OPP or RCMP).
