Vancouver Boat Show:

This past week, we joined Boating BC at the Vancouver Boat Show to raise awareness about the DMP and Land Act amendments. Our team was equipped with a handout for distribution to thousands of members of the public.

WPC gave a presentation to the members of Boating BC at their AGM to spread awareness about the DMP. We sincerely appreciate their invaluable support.
