Event Details:

Free - Join us on Thursday, February 6, at 7:00 pm as CanBoat / NautiSavoir – Peterborough hosts the first Speaker Series Session of the season featuring John Brewster, Commander of the RCAF Trenton Squadron, on the subjects of Marine Radio.

John will be talking about common errors and misconceptions, answering frequently asked questions, and providing tips for effective use of your VHF marine radio. In addition, you’ll hear about FLAREX, a live-fire program developed by John to demonstrate the usage and safe disposal of incendiary flares in boating situations. This is done with the full cooperation of the Base Commander of 8 Wing, CFB Trenton and, as far as we know, is the only facility permitting this type of live-fire demonstration.

As an added bonus, John will also talk about the Dock Stewardship Program, an educational tool for marina staff to ensure their knowledge of what boaters need when docking in their facility. For boaters, it’s important to know what to expect from the marina staff and what to do if the help is inadequate or incorrect, and how to remedy the situation.

This is a virtual session via ZOOM so everyone is welcome. Following is the link to join the session:
