Message From The Editor
Great conferences in turbulent times
Last week I attended the Boating Ontario Conference and Trade Show and it was a great event with most of the important and influential marine industry professionals from Ontario and Eastern Canada attending. I understand the Boating BC event the previous week was similarly successful. It’s really encouraging to see so many people attending these valuable sessions.
One of the very important topics was to encourage the industry to engage with the Transport Canada website to ensure that we weigh in on critically important new legislation that is now in the works.
