Message From The Editor
Hope we see each other
If you are reading this edition of Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest on Tuesday morning, I hope you can look around the Peninsula Room at Deerhurst and that we will see each other at the breakfast on the first full day of the Boating Ontario Conference. I’ll be there for sure.
I believe that one of the best sources of information to help you plan and manage your business is to talk to your peers. Every year brings a level of uncertainty, but this year may be the hardest to plan for in ages.
