What’s Coming up at the Montreal Boat Show

Montreal Boat Show 2015

 

The Quebec Marine Association (QMA) invites boating enthusiasts on February 5th-8th, 2015 at the 16th edition of the Montreal Boats and Water Sports Show. This year is once again marked by a most festive atmosphere, with an event that is expected to be more impressive in all aspects. The figures are enough to make your head spin: 275 exhibitors, more than 450 boats spread over an exhibition area of over 275,000 square feet which is 17 times the Bell Centre ice.

Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation and friends for a Totally Wild Webinar

Damian Foxall, winner of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011 and ambassador of the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) will host on February, 6th, the first “Totally Wild” Webinar. The project called The Build reflects the Sail Québec strategy to develop a provincial sailing education program with a cross-curricular learning strategy. Key supporters of the project include the Ecovoile Baie-des-Chaleurs sailing school. Through this project, youth will come to appreciate the Regatta emphasis of learning rather than winning while mastering new skills and a deeper understanding of racing rules of sailing, codes of conduct and conservation.

A film documentary about this project is also planned. For more information about CWF’s role visit WildAboutSports.ca
 
Date: Friday, February 6th, 2015
Time: 1 pm to 1:30 pm EST
