The 2008 North American Safe Boating
Awareness Week campaign will take place across Canada from May 17th
to 23rd. Once again, it is also being promoted and celebrated in the
United States during the same week. Last year’s campaign was a great
success thanks to the invaluable contributions of volunteers. (The
2007 results are on the Canadian Safe Boating Council’s website
www.csbc.ca) The goal of this year’s campaign continues to be to
ensure that the millions of Canadians who head out on the waters in
canoes and kayaks, sailboards and sailboats, fishing boats, personal
watercraft, power boats and cruisers are equipped with the knowledge
necessary for a safe day on the water.
The CSBC invites you to once again
participate as a key player in the campaign by contacting your local
media and encouraging them to use the Safe Boating Awareness Week
Radio, TV and Print public service announcements we will provide
you. Offering to give an interview or host your own activities to
promote safe boating will also provide an opportunity for you to
showcase the products and services your organization provides.
Among other campaign enhancements for
2008, the planning committee has developed a Volunteer eGuide as a
step-by-step tool to assist volunteers through every stage of the
local media contact process.
Please email your name,
company/organization name, mailing address and phone number to CSBC
Co-coordinator Ian Gilson at
sbaw@csbc.ca as soon as possible. Also, please indicate if you
would be willing to participate should a media outlet contact us
wishing to interview a boating expert in your area. |

The
Maritime Boating Guide to Destinations and
Marinas is creating a New Maritime Boating Website... Coming Summer
2008
Boaters, marinas
and the recreational boating industry will have a powerful new
marketing tool available to them later this summer. Under the
direction of the Atlantic Marine Trades Association, Word Architect
& Associates, publishers the annual Maritime Boating guide, will
soon launch a new online version of the boating guide. The new user
friendly website, created in association with Eclipse Media Group
Inc., will allow boaters to view the printed guide online,
region-by-region, and will include new features that will allow
marinas to upload information, photographs and events anytime they
want.
The website
will be accessible at
maritimeboating.ca and
maritimeboating.com by Sept. 1, 2008 and will boast very
attractive advertising rates. The website and the annual guide will
continue to be marketed throughout Eastern Canada and New England.
