Someone gave us a fishing boat about 2 years ago. We have never used
it but are planning on taking it out this weekend to a place in
Alberta, Canada.
It has a small motor on it.
How do I know if I need a license for the fishing boat.
If I do need a license, where do I obtain this from and what do I need
to do to get it?
I know I need to obtain a fishing license.

The Canadian regulations for licensing pleasure craft and obtaining
proof of operator's competency are pretty complex. They depend on the
size of the motor, the age of the operator, and other stuff. The
regulations are posted at transport Canada's web page at
