Every canoe and kayak is required to have a personal flotation device (PFD) for each person on board. Additionally, it is advisable to have a whistle or sound-producing device to signal for help. Depending on local regulations, other safety equipment, such as a throw bag or a light, may also be required. Always check local laws to ensure compliance with safety requirements.
The Canadian Canoe portal does not sell canoe equipment, however, it does link to a classifieds section for Canada where you can look specifically for Canoe equipment in your area.

A swamped canoe is a canoe that has taken on so much water that it is no longer buoyant and has filled with water, making it difficult or impossible to paddle. This can occur due to rough water conditions, capsizing, or inadequate drainage. A swamped canoe can pose safety risks, as it may tip over easily and become unstable. Proper techniques and equipment, like bailers or flotation devices, can help mitigate the risks associated with a swamped canoe.
