Top 3 Fall Photo Contest Submissions

Fall Photos

Dec 7, 2023

Thanks for participating in our Fall Colours Photo Contest. The most liked photos on our Instagram @cpsboat were:

1st place was submitted by Sandi Little from Manitouwabing Lake, Ontario.

2nd place was submitted by Elizabeth Wilson. Georgian Bay’s east shore, October 28th, tucked away in anticipation of a big blow which never materialized! I love fall boating for days like this – it feels like you’ve been handed a little gift of summer, if only for a short time.

3rd place was last cruise of the year, submitted by Linda Hamilton. This photo was taken at Poonamalie Lock Station on the Rideau Canal and features Sassy Jody 1963 Chris, owned by Linda and Terry Hamilton.

Congratulations! The top photo will be printed and published in the next issue of Port Hole published by Canadian Boating.

Watch for our upcoming Photo Contest announcement in January along with an exciting prize for the winner!

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
