The Halifax Boat Show is postponed until 2022.
So sorry not to have the opportunity to see everyone this year, but lets all stay safe and healthy and with spring and summer on the horizon, its time to think about BOATING!

Issued: February 26, 2021

Halifax, NS – This afternoon, Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin and Dr. Robert Strang, Chief Medical Officer of Health, announced tighter COVID-19 restrictions in the province. As of 8:00 am tomorrow, special events, including trade shows, are not permitted until at least the end of March, and residents are being asked to avoid non-essential travel in and out of HRM during this period.

As a result, Master Promotions Ltd., along with event partner Boating Atlantic, are announcing the postponement of the 2021 Halifax International Boat Show, which was scheduled for March 25-28, 2021. The next edition of the Halifax International Boat Show will take place in February 2022.

“We obviously spent a lot of time and effort to prepare for the 2021 show so we are disappointed we can’t proceed,” said Scott Sprague, Show Manager. “Nova Scotia has been doing very well when it comes to COVID-19 cases, and when the announcement came only weeks ago that restrictions would be eased to allow events, we were excited to be moving forward. But we also understand that the situation can suddenly shift, and we have to follow the recommendations laid out by government officials to keep everyone safe.”

Master Promotions Ltd. would like to thank the Halifax International Boat Show community for unwavering support from exhibitors, visitors, sponsors, and partners. “We continue to believe in the strength of face-to-face business and networking opportunities that shows provide,” added Sprague. “We look forward to hosting an in-person event again when it is safe to do so.”

VHF-DSC Certification
Are you using a VHF radio?
Are you becoming a sailing instructor?
Are you driving the club tender or working for the Coast Guard?
Are you working or volunteering on races and regattas?
Do you want to be able to make an emergency call or use the DSC feature on your radio?
Or just want to use a VHF Radio and don’t know what the red emergency button really is or how to make a bridge to bridge contact on Channel 70?
Knowing how to use the radio properly might save your life or very much help with a rescue and everyone on board should know how to use it properly
If you answered yes to any of these then you really need to have your Restricted Operators Certificate.
It is actually illegal to operate a VHF radio without certification and can result in a heavy fine. Once certified, you are certified for life! No need to renew.
Join Sail Canada’s Instructor Evaluator, Judy Robertson, for a 2 part VHF course.
When Tuesday March 23 from 6-9 pm and Wednesday March 24 from 6-9 pm
Where – From the comfort of your own home over ZOOM
