Let us help you promote your public boating events or activities

Boating Events

May 23, 2024

From a family boating celebration at your lake or marina, to a major Destination Rendezvous, Canadian Boating is pleased to help you promote your publicly open events to boaters – and there is no charge!

All we ask is that you send us information about your event or activity and at least one nice photograph to appear in the story.

We especially want to support boating activities featuring family, safe boating and educational aspects. Events like Waterski and Wake Board Shows, junior fishing tournaments and learn-to-fish are excellent examples. Your Canada Day event could be another example. Here is a basic list of the information we would need for promoting your event:

  • Name of Event
  • Date of Event and times
  • Location
  • Organization managing the Event
  • Purpose of the Event, (eg: Learn to Fish, Learn to Ski or Surf, Lake Plastic Clean-up, etc.)
  • Website or Event information source
  • Admission or Participation fees (if any)
  • Telephone contact if available
  • Email contact

Your boating events or activities that are open to the public can be promoted in the Canadian Boating Onboard Digest with 20,000+ National Circulation, or in Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest to the marine trade with National Circulation of 5,500+ industry readers.

Send your information to Allegra Smith-Herriott at asmithherriott@kerrwil.com

The Erie Canal – An Extraordinary Waterway

By Mark Stevens

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
