Summer is finally here - in the form of the Boat and Water Sports Show held on January 29 to February 2, 2009, at Place Bonaventure in Montreal. Over 150 exhibitors will be showing off more than 400 watercraft, and eight conferences and numerous demonstrations will help you gear up for the summer season and maybe, just maybe, forget about the cold outside.


This year's highlights include:

• A new Marina and Boating Center pavilion
• The approval of 6 boating centres across Quebec
• The environment - an industry concern - and the Éco-Marinas certification
• New trends in the industry
  
• Demonstrations and conferences on diving and underwater photography
• A fashion show
• Conferences given by boating enthusiasts
• The economic profile of the boating industry in Quebec

Naturally, visitors will also have the chance to test drive - in their heads - the hundreds of beautiful machines on site.
