Awards 2026

It is always a good practice to recognize the contributions our volunteers make in promoting the CanBoat / NautiSavoir mission of Safe Boating Education and outreach all year long, but there is no better time to highlight the efforts of these volunteers than at the National Annual General Meeting. This year, our  AGM will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Therefore, we need your nominations for the awards that highlight three areas where our volunteers make such a difference. 

Awards for Nomination
