Move-out Notices Distributed Today
|
 Move-out coordination is well underway, and if you submitted a Boat Handling Request Form, you will receive a move-out notice today.
Please direct any questions you have to move-out coordinator Shawn McConnell at the Show Office or at 416-574-9826.
To assist with a smooth process, we ask that all exhibitors
click here and review move-out guidelines.
Occupational Health and Safety regulations are the same during move-out as they were during move-in.
With hundreds of people and vehicles vacating the building at the same time, Sunday will be extremely hectic. We kindly ask you to remain patient and assist with the process of a safe move-out.

Do You Recognize This Nissan?
|
 Do you recognize this illegally parked car in Lot 1? It is a Nissan, with plate:
BTHW 512.
The car will be towed shortly if the owner cannot be found. If you have any information about this vehicle, please contact Ken Jattan in the Enercare Centre: 416-263-3048.
|
 Please remember this weekend to caution visitors to watch their step and use handrails when navigating stairs and getting on and off boats and platforms.

2017 Education Series Well-received
|
 Some boaters are having a tough time fitting in the number of the inspirational and educational presentations that interest them at this year's boat show.
They have
250+ seminars and workshops from which to choose, including a selection of longer workshops for which they pre-register and pay a fee. All have been well-received.
|
|
Please Dispose of Your Own Garbage
|
 During move-out, we encourage exhibitors to remove their own shrinkwrap, skids, and leftover wood from the Enercare Centre.
Large bins will be placed around the halls for garbage disposal. Please use them, and keep the floor safe and clean.
The show is charged for garbage removal from the floor, and your efforts during move-out can help keep space costs down.
|
|
Access Outside Regular Show Hours
|
If you plan to meet customers prior to show opening and escort them onto the show floor, please advise the Show Office so we can make appropriate arrangements for access outside regular show hours.
|
Training & Retaining
Marine Mechanics for Your Business
|
Pre-apprentice program with paid employer subsidy
|
|
 Unauthorized vehicles in the east and west docks will be tagged.
Starting today, vehicles parked on Manitoba will be given a warning, and those 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.

Take a Break in the Exhibitor Lounge
|
Open 9am to 5pm, featuring daily soup, salad and sandwich specials, the Exhibitor Lounge is located in Salon 102 (just west of the Show Office).
For the convenience of exhibitors, it is equipped with computers and internet access, free of charge, courtesy of our sponsors -

NEW THIS YEAR: We have added a microwave to the Exhibitor Lounge for your use.

Two full-time paramedics are on duty each day, circulating throughout the boat show, ready to assist in case of a medical emergency. They carry radios, and are in constant contact with boat show staff.
If an emergency requiring paramedics arises, please do one of the following:
- Contact a boat show staff member, who will radio the paramedics to come to the required location.
- Call the Show Office at 416-263-3185, who will radio the paramedics to come to the required location.
If the situation is non-urgent, you can also direct the individual to the Show Office (Salon 103), where paramedics can meet them.
