Man in Motion Key Speaker at Boating BC Conference

Rick Hansen

Rick Hansen was amoung an impressive collection of guest speakers at this week’s Boating BC conference.

On November 24th and 25th members of the recreational boating industry in British Columbia stepped away from their busy lives to attend the 2015 Boating BC Conference, presented by Mercury Marine, at the Pacific Gateway Hotel in Richmond, BC. It’s an inspiring two days where people come to learn, connect and share ideas.

The theme Learn to Lead took delegates through a series of presentations on the latest industry news and trends, best practices in business and personal leadership, organizational culture and human resources. Each shared tangible takeaways to help grow recreational marine businesses in all sectors across the province.

It is the premier event for networking at the ever-popular Navis Marine Insurance Industry Reception, and consistently creates an environment rich in comradery through shared workshop activities and entertainment.

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.
