Published purpose

WeatherToBoat (WTB) is a 3-year initiative to create, launch and promote a free, powerful boating App that offers everything a Canadian boater will want to better enjoy their boating. First, attracting boater/users with marine weather forecasts and other ‘must have’ boating information, WTB’s main goal will be to use the platform to deliver comprehensive safety messaging to better inform and educate boaters in an effort to reduce their chances of being subject of a Search and Rescue call out.
