About Us

The BC Marine Trades 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.

• Promotion of recreational boating

We are a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors from a variety of sectors in the marine industry.
