summary -
* Portable toilets are illegal on Ontario waters. * must have a holding tank with deck fitting for waste removal * there must be no way to empty the holding tank except the deck fitting.
my POV after reading the above is you leave the porta-potti at home and use 'swag bags'.
there is also this POV shared by John Clement on Trailer/Sailors Association -
"Having said this, we have not heard of this issue being a problem with previous visitors from south of the border."

E & D, No doubt this would be a great place to cruise in 2012 or beyond, but I swear someone said that boats with portable heads are not allowed to overnight in the waters. Tell me it isn't true, since our little boats would be crazy with a regulation marine head and holding tanks. Tom and Della M17 Scintilla
