North American Safe Boating Awareness Week 2016

This week in North America marks Safe Boating Awareness week, in conjunction with the traditional start of the boating season in many parts of our country. The water is still very cold in most places and keen boaters may need to be reminded to have all of their safety equipment onboard and to practice respect for the cold water conditions. If you have a chance as you are helping customers and clients get out onto the waterways please do your part in reminding everyone how to use safety on the water to make their exursions more enjoyable. Great resources for this at www.csbc.ca and www.cps-ecp.ca. Tweet us anytime with your boating comments @BoatIndCan. Happy reading and welcome to summer 2016!
