The Canadian Safe Boating Council is Seeking Award Nominations

October 23, 2025

Boating season is almost over, and now it is the perfect time to think about recognizing the efforts of those who do so much to make our favourite on-water activities both safer and environmentally sustainable…and it’s through the Canadian Safe Boating Awards that you can do just that.

In no more than 15 minutes, you can nominate that special person, group, or organization whose efforts in the field of boating safety or environmental stewardship deserve national recognition. Perhaps they are volunteers or professionals whose efforts have contributed greatly to the safety of those on the water. Then again, maybe it’s someone who, hearing that another was in trouble on the water, summoned the courage to mount a rescue. These are the individuals we invite you to nominate for a Canadian Safe Boating Award (CASBA). You can even nominate yourself, your group, or your organization.

What makes the CASBAs so very special is that nominations come from people like YOU! No matter where you live, from Victoria to St. John’s, please keep your eyes and ears open. Without your nomination, the great works of those who contribute so much to our safety and enjoyment of recreational boating may go unrecognized. Now is your time to act.

Help the Canadian Safe Boating Council say thank-you to deserving Canadians for their stellar efforts and let them know that their work is greatly appreciated.

Nominations close Oct 31, 2025.

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.
