the main channel here in the States is 16... but when you hail someone you need to go to a different channel that isnt an emergency Coast Guard one and tell them to go up or down to that special one you want. Your area should have a list of certain ones in Canada that hail on that arent emergency response

You should get your license as it could cost you if you don't.
Unfortunately the government, in a very stupid moment, handed over licensing to a social club (power squadron), to administer, so you have to pay them to get it.
They will pressure the hell out of you to join but personally, I suggest you stick to joining boating clubs.

I monitor Channel 16 on Lake Simcoe. Spend most of my time on Kempenfelt Bay as I am out of the Barrie Marina but we do make runs up to Orillia and down to Cook's Bay as well. Where abouts on Simcoe are you?

I heard about this license thing several times now. I just went to the FCC website:
"You do not need a license to operate a marine VHF radio, radar, or EPIRBs aboard voluntary ships operating domestically. The term "voluntary ships" refers to ships that are not required by law to carry a radio. Generally, this term applies to recreation or pleasure craft."
What gives?
