Flares manufactured in 2021 or earlier expire this year, as Transport Canada approves them for four years. They should be replaced every third or forth boating season.
To dispose of expired flares you cannot:
Don't ignite them: Flare are for emergencies only and lighting them in non-distress situations, like decommissioning, is illegal.
Don't throw them in the water: Marine flares contain toxic chemicals, which can pollute waterways and drinking water sources.
Don't put them in household garbage: Flares are not permitted in regular trash or at household hazardous waste facilities due to their potential explosion and fire hazards.
CanBoat / Port Dover volunteers and select CIL Dealers are hosting Safety Equipment Education and Flare Disposal Days to collect expired marine flares for neutralization and safe disposal.
