The BC Conservation Service is reminding boaters bound for the water this long weekend that it is mandatory to stop at a watercraft inspection station.
Failing to stop at a watercraft inspection station will result in a $345 fine.
A motorist pulling a vessel in Fernie was today apprehended by Conservation Officers after, “blowing by the inspection station on Highway 3.”
