Lake experts, Elton Townsend, Harry Shannon and Jim Hodgson will take you through several topics of interest and

-
Kevin Psutka, President and CEO of the Canadian
Owners and Pilots Association, will provide an update on
seaplane issues, including parks access in Ontario and elsewhere
in Canada. He will also discuss other issues such as security, the
new NAVCAN daily charge (and its potential to be expanded into
more general pay-as-you-go fees).

look at egress procedures. This will be an open
discussion forum with some materials provided. So bring stories to
share.
