RCMP officers were out on Kalamalka Lake, Wednesday, checking boats for safety violations.

Vernon RCMP say officers were conducting patrols and checked seven boats.

Of those, one ticket was handed out for a safety violation, three warnings were issued for non-safety-related violations, and three boats were found to be fully compliant.

"We want everyone using the water to have fun and be safe," the detachment wrote on its Facebook page.
