In partnership with Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest, the BICEOC Awards create leading employer brand recognition, improved employee engagement and a unique competitive advantage for attracting and retaining top talent.
What are people saying about the program…
"It has been our pleasure to take part in the BICEOC program. From our experience, the program has been very valuable as it gives us an honest, unbiased report as to what our staff are feeling. The report gives us the opportunity to learn, grow and nurture our team through anonymous feedback from them. We’ve been honoured to win the Employer of Choice Award six times and truthfully feel each year we are able to improve over the previous year with the help of the program. Thank you."

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.
The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
