Participant testimonials demonstrate that CSBC Symposiums consistently hit the high-water mark:

• It was a great symposium from start to finish. Everything was well run and managed, it went by too fast in my opinion.
  
  
• It was great to hear the roles of all the different organizations as it related to prevention and boating safety, ie, JRCC Trenton, Parks Canada, the Canadian Ranger Patro, CCG, Navy, UK etc.
  
  
• This was a well-executed event and a valuable opportunity to engage with partners across the marine safety spectrum.
  
  
• The Waterways Cafe session: Okay, this was excellent. I always dread the breakout groups with flip charts. This was different—switching tables, using the texting tech, and using the crayons were all great changes!
