Most trips go exactly as planned. But when they don’t, having the right documents at your fingertips can make a stressful situation much easier to manage. Whether it’s a lost passport, medical emergency, or an unexpected travel interruption or cancellation, being prepared before you leave can save valuable time and help you access support when you need it most.

Canada is home to some of the most beautiful lakes in the world. From the turquoise waters of the Rocky Mountains to sandy freshwater beaches in the Prairies and scenic shorelines in Atlantic Canada, there’s no shortage of incredible lake destinations to explore during the summer.

Adding any adventurous travel activities or extreme sports to your itinerary, including scuba, ups the risk of experiencing a medical emergency, so you’ll want to be prepared before you dive into your next underwater adventure, whether in Canada or abroad.
