They cannot land on water, so don't get too brave about lake crossing on their account. The orange rescue helicopters one frequently sees at CYTZ are for ground medevac.

You can fly through it OK, but should make a radio call on Unicom before doing so to check for any conflicts. Beware that there is heavy training activity in this area from CYOO.

(I haven't been flying in a while, and this is the closet chart to hand. *sigh*) The CYAs are advisory Class F, while the CYRs are restricted Class F. I did a quick search on "CYA 520" on Transport Canada's website and found this: http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/general/exams/guides/tp13728/Section_2.htm -- scroll to question 31.
