The Authority on Canada’s Recreational Boating Industry

Message From The Editor

Rising interest in quality journalism and print media

I’d better be careful here…

First, I want to thank you and all the other regular readers of Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest for following us for the past 15 years and counting. Our weekly readership is remarkably strong and steady, so I can’t put down digital media. That’s what News Week Digest is. We do our best to bring you editorial that we believe is relevant to your interests, and we do that digitally.

You may recall when Boating Industry Canada was a printed magazine. There were only 6 issues a year and although we had strong readership and several staunch supporters, the business was not self-sustaining. So many advertisers wanted to go digital that we had to embrace that or risk our own disappearance. I’m pleased to announce that this month, we bring you an original IMPACT Profile story by Alyssa Kerslake. (READ MORE)
