I can't find my Canadian boating guide, but as I recall, the color selection is limited to yellow, orange, and maybe red, which would rule out my purple Palm PFD.

The only item I found on the CCG web site suggests that this is true, but on the other hand, you can get CCG approved PFDs in lots of other colors, including blue and purple. I know they relaxed a lot of the PFD rules a few years ago, since they decided that having people wear them beats having them not wear a regulation-color PFD (hey, fashion rules...). They also allow more pockets than they used to. Really big pockets are still verboten.
