Directing New Boaters to the  
New Boater Welcome Centre   

Thank you to our friendly greeters at the New Boater Welcome Centre, Bob Habkirk and Sharon Kirkham.
Please remember that the New Boater Welcome Centre is an important tool for converting interest to action, and direct new boaters visiting your booth to drop by and take advantage of this valuable resource.
 
A few things they'll find here:
  • New Boater Information Booth
  • Discover Boating Centre
  • New Boater Seminars
  • Mandarin Tours
  • CharterAbility
  • CPS-ECP Boating Skills Virtual Training
 
Location: In the centre of the show, between Hall B and Mariner's Marketplace. 
Don't Get Tagged & Towed

A reminder that unauthorized vehicles on Manitoba Drive and in the east and west loading docks will be tagged.
 
Vehicles parked there Saturday and Sunday will be tagged and towed.
 
Help us to help you! We all want a smooth, efficient move-out, and illegally parked vehicles will impede the flow, causing move-out delays and frustration for everyone.

Opening day of the boat show, the Boating Industry Canada Employer of Choice award program presented awards to:
  • Desmasdon's Boatworks
  • Princecraft
  • MD Marine Insurance
 
Congratulations to all winners!
 
A west coast winner will be announced at the Vancouver Boat Show.
