Alpine Resort Cottages on Rice Lake Canada

Hello to all from the metropolis of Roseneath, Ontario!. Alpine Resort is closed for the season and we're busy fixing and getting ready for 2010. We still have openings for next summer and they will be posted as soon as the deadline passes for deposits on reservations already made. So, look for openings after January 15.

Pleasure Craft Operator Card .

Currently, a Pleasure Craft Operator Card is not required in order to operate a rented watercraft. Instead, it is sufficient for a renter to complete a rental safety checklist. Take note however that some companies have made it their corporate policy to require renters to have their Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Alpine resort does not require you to possess a card to rent our boats although we do encourage it.

Non-residents only need to obtain a Pleasure Craft Operator Card if they are operating their powered boat in Canadian waters for more than 45 consecutive days or if the boat they are operating is registered or licensed in Canada (this includes rented boats). Boater Education Cards or equivalent certifications are recognized in Canada. Proper identification should be kept on board at all times to provide proof of residency.

View of Rice Lake from Island View Road

I'm sure this view of Rice Lake looks very different from the one many of you have seen!

The Department of State has developed a Passport Card as a more portable and less expensive alternative to the traditional passport book. The passport card is a basic component of the PASS (People Access Security Service) system announced by Secretaries Rice and Chertoff in January 2006, and will meet the specific requirements of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) to secure and expedite travel. WHTI is the Administration’s plan to implement a provision of the Intelligence Reform Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which requires citizens of the United States, Canada, and Bermuda to have a passport or other designated document that establishes the bearer’s identity and nationality to enter or re-enter the United States from Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. According to the Department of Homeland Security, other documents such as registered traveler cards (NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST cards) will be acceptable under WHTI.

We enter all of our big fish winners into the Rice Lake wide contest so check back soon to see if anyone from Alpine has won a big fish award!
