1/2 We had an opportunity to share our work with MP Joyce Murray @joycemurraymp’s as part of her Canada Summer Job (CSJ) tour! Here she is at @royalvanyc with our “Dock Walker” Megan Raitt (far right), whose position is CSJ-funded.

Hi everyone! Please help us spread the word that we have Clean Boater kits - but not enough Volunteer Dock Walkers to distribute them and we are looking for help! Thanks!

We are thrilled that this year, our Dock Walkers be working with Megan Raitt, who is returning to @GeorgiaStraitBC after being one of last year’s very enthusiastic and knowledgable Summer Community Organizers. Say hi at the WAVES Regatta this Saturday.

This boating season we are excited to be heading back out into the community to connect with boaters - and we’re looking for volunteers to help! Do you have an interest in boating & a desire to help boaters minimize their impact on the waters we all love?

The Clean Drain Dry advice we have been giving for years in our clean boating guide is now the law. New orders effective immediately will help keep invasive mussels and whirling disease out of B.C. waterways.
