BOATING BC’S AGM A SUCCESS

BC Boating April

 

Boating BC members who attended April 14th’s AGM were treated to a beautiful day at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.   

Following the business of the AGM, attendees participated in a planning session for the future of the Vancouver International Boat Show. It was an excellent discussion that generated some great, creative ideas about the future of the show. This discussion was the beginning of Boating BC’s broader strategic planning process that members will be working through over the coming months.
