CMC had better than expected attendance at its office to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary representing Raymarine in Canada. The many dealers who took the opportunity to visit the CMC office to meet the CMC staff that work with them every day also had an opportunity to see all the latest products that will be available for 2015.
At Boating Industry Canada we often ask our readers to share their experiences out on Canada’s waterways. Recently in our Newsweek e-newsletter we asked for your experiences and suggestions for making the Trent Severn and Rideau Canals vibrant and sustainable moving forward in light of the changes to the system in the recent past. As both boaters and business owners on the Trent Severn and Rideau waterways, many of our readers had valuable feedback on their personal take on how the system has changed and needs to change further.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the commencement of the First World War. It was called the “Great War” and the “War to End All Wars”. (If only the latter were true. No one thought to call it the First World War, until there was a Second.) Many historians are of the view that the Great War was a defining moment in the history of Canada marking the birth of a truly independent nation.
The First World War is seen by most Canadians as a conflict that took place “over there;” a struggle an ocean away, in the muddy fields of and France and Flanders. That’s mostly true, but just months before the war’s end a bizarre sea battle brought the war to Canada’s shores for the first and only time.
During the last week of October the CPS-ECP held their annual AGM in Quebec City, QC. The event was held at the gorgeous Chateau Laurier and was well attended. Participants enjoyed a fun and productive few days in the heart of Old Quebec.

The exhibits in the halls and the in-water hanseboot at the City Marina attracted some 76,000 professionals, leisure sailors and newcomers.
