Catching Up with the Industry at TIBS 2016

We've had a great time so far at the Toronto Boat Show. It's nice to catch up with everyone in the industry as time permits, in the hustle and bustle of the show. If you are fortunate enough to be attending our Recreational Boating State of the Industry Breakfast this morning please take a moment to stop and say hi to Andy Adams, our Managing Editor. He'll be delivering the welcoming comments as well as some valuable information on the need for Marine Technicians in Canada. Boating Industry Canada is hanging out in Booth 1720 all week so do stop by and say hello. Good luck to everyone at the show and we'll look forward to the next stop in Vancouver starting Jan 20th. Tweet us and let us know how the show is going for you @BoatIndCan.
