For the past 31 years marine retailers from all over Canada, have marked their calendars so that they could attend the Paynes Marine show in October at the Victoria Convention Centre.

Staff members, Christine on the left and Janelle on the right were on hand to welcome and register marine retailors from across Canada.

A beaming Grant Kuebler said that Saturday had set a record for largest attendance for one day, in the history of the Marine show. Marine show is a great opportunity for suppliers to talk directly with retailers.
