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

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
