TIBS

Feb 27, 2025

On Saturday January 25th CanBoat / Tillsonburg and London members boarded a bus bound for the Toronto International Boat Show to enjoy a day of touring new boats, watching events at the indoor lake, shopping and fellowship.

This annual event is organized by Tillsonburg, and the invitation is extended to London members and typically costs $70 per person for the bus charter and show admission.

This year, 35 boaters attended with a pickup starting in London at 8:30 am and a second pickup in Woodstock at 9:30 am. Attendees arrived at the show around 11am.

During the trip guests were also treated to raffle prize draws and dinner stop at the Mandarin Restaurant in Mississauga for a lovely buffet. After dinner everyone headed back on the bus with a drop off in Woodstock and final stop in London at 10 pm.

All in all, it was a fun day! Follow Tillsonburg on Facebook.
