 These private buoys are compliant to Transport Canada requirements and indicate, by their logo, different rules to respect in the different sectorswhere they are located. Information buoys are often observed on bodies of calm water such as lakes, slow-moving rivers and even rivers. Among these we find the intelligence, obstacle, control, interdiction buoys. We have also attached the warning buoys to this page.​
