The May long weekend kicked off the unofficial start to summer and with it, boating season! Boating offers lifestyle benefits that can easily and affordably improve quality of life for Canadians who enjoy its many activities. Jump the waves, fish for the big one, just get away from it all, de-stress, get closer to nature and more importantly, closer to family, friends and loved ones. Discover Boating, the recreational boating industry's national awareness program, is hosting an event to officially kick-off the boating season by introducing newbies to the fun of boating and educating veteran boaters on new activities.
