Nominate Your Boating Heroes Today

Casba

Oct 12, 2017

The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is committed to recognizing individuals and groups who strive to make Canada’s waterways a safer place for everyone to enjoy, live, work and play.  The Canadian Safe Boating Awards, “CASBA’s”, are presented annually with the dinner gala considered a flagship event of the council.

CPS-ECP would like to encourage you to think about those who are making a positive impact on your local waters and how national recognition may provide an opportunity to showcase your community’s commitment to safe boating.  By sharing our successes we encourage others as well as provide the recognition so many deserve.

Who are these heroes?  A family or individual faced with a life or death situation who aids another and saves a life; a boating safety advocate, volunteer or teacher whose passion for paddling, sailing or powerboating can’t help but influence others to be engaged;  professionals, media members and industry partners who embrace the need to promote the benefits of boating safety while challenging themselves to consider and share information on the impact on our natural environments…they are all heroes and we are looking for their stories. 

It will only take a few minutes to nominate one of these special people, a group or organization whose efforts in the field of boating safety or environmental stewardship deserve national recognition.   You may consider nominating yourself, your own group or organization.  Award categories include the following:

STEARNS  – Rescue of the Year

Marine Professional of the Year

Top Volunteer Dedicated to Safe Boating

Best Boating Safety Initiative

Safeguarding the Environment

Marine Industry Award

Visible PFD Wear in Advertising

 Best Media Contribution to Boating Safety

You can locate more information about the CASBA awards and gala event on the website www.csbc.ca     Nomination forms and documentation may be emailed to CASBA@csbc.ca or sent by post to – Canadian Safe Boating Council, 400 Consumers Road, Toronto ON, M2J 1P8

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Bayfield Marine Turns 40 with Big April Events

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
