Halifax International Boat Show 2016 – EXHIBITION PARK OPEN FOR 2016

Halifax Boat Show

The Halifax Boat Show Management is pleased to announce that Exhibition Park will officially continue operating, thanks to an arrangement between the Nova Scotia government and a private developer. The province has an agreement in principle with Banc Properties for ownership of Exhibition Park.
 
Show Management is encouraged that an agreement has been reached, and is looking forward to working with the new facility owner and manager and welcome having them on board for the Halifax-based shows.

The future of the local trade and exposition industry was in question when the Nova Scotia government announced its intention to close Exhibition Park this past July. The loss of this facility would have rendered Nova Scotia the only province and Halifax the only major city in Canada without an exhibition facility capable of hosting major trade and consumer events. Now that Exhibition Park has changed ownership and is under new management, the Atlantic Canadian exposition and event industry will continue to thrive.
 
Along with the Halifax International Boat Show, Master Promotions Ltd. will produce the following shows at Exhibition Park in the coming winter/spring trade show season:

Halifax RV Show
Motorcycle and Powersport Atlantic
Nova Scotia Spring Ideal Home Show
   
January 28-31, 2016
March 4-6, 2016
April 1-3, 2016

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

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.
