Halifax International Boat Show Postponed

Feb 10, 2022

Boating Atlantic and Master Promotions Ltd. are announcing the postponement of the Halifax International Boat Show, which was scheduled for March 3-6, 2022. The next edition of the Halifax International Boat Show will now take place in February 2023.

With the province announcing the extension of the current restrictions into mid-February, the runway has become far too short to present a quality event for both the exhibitor and attendee.

The organizers note that the Moncton Boat Show is moving forward as scheduled and is set to take place April 8 – 10, 2022 at the Moncton Coliseum. Master Promotions Ltd. will also continue to work with the Nova Scotia Department of Health, Events Nova Scotia, and the Halifax Exhibition Centre to explore other options for a boating and recreational show in Nova Scotia sometime this spring.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
