What is the CBA?

• The Canadian Boaters Alliance is a non-profit volunteer organization that speaks up for recreational boaters.
• CBA helps direct and contain the people who make rules affecting boating. CBA deals with the government departments and agencies on your behalf.
• CBA helps shape boaters' image which allows us to have influence on and over the processes affecting all recreational boaters.
• CBA brings boaters together to find a balance with special interest groups that do not share our point of view, interests or goals.

Goals

• Promote and protect the interests of recreational boaters in Ontario.
• Protect the environment to ensure the continued use of the waterways by everyone.
• Actively promote boating safety.
• Ensure that the use of waterways remains open and accessible to everyone and will be preserved as a heritage for future generations.
• Lobby the political system at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.

How We Achieve Our Goals

• Through timely information to our members.
• Through representation of a large constituency with the credibility to be consulted on issues impacting our members.
• Through an aggressive promotional program.

Code of Conduct

Without the CBA Ontario boating could be open to undesirable changes. On the horizon we see the potential for variances in Municipal regulations affecting Harbour usage, escalating taxes and fines for minor infractions to offset declines in government funding, increased pollution and anchorage restrictions.
