Boating BC Association 4.52

The Boating BC Association has been the voice of recreational boating in BC since 1957, working with all levels of government and other stakeholders to grow and enhance the boating experience, including: promotion of recreational boating; delivery of member services and benefits; advocacy on industry issues; and support for environmental stewardship.

We're the driving force behind BC’s premier boating event, the Vancouver International Boat Show (#VanBoatShow). Western Canada’s largest boat show, the 2016 event takes place January 20-24 at two great locations: indoors at BC Place and a Floating Show at Granville Island Maritime Market and Marina.

Boating BC is a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors from a variety of sectors in the marine industry. Our 250+ members represent all aspects of the marine industry, from small owner/operator businesses to large multinational corporations.

We offer financial support for non-profit organizations that undertake projects related to education/training, safety, environmental stewardship, and community benefit. Initiatives must share at least one of the Boating BC's BC Boating Grant program objectives.
