Choose materials accordingly and get real time, up-to-date and accurate information and informative reports from BEAM. Details are at buildersforclimateaction.org
Randy Hauth and the team at Carveths Marina have just launched an exciting new program called the Boater’s Assistance Association, or BAA.
Covering Stoney and Clear Lakes for now, if you hit a rock, damage your boat, run out of gas, the battery dies, experience electrical or engine problems, you get lost, or maybe you had one drink too many at a friend’s cottage, Carveths will pick you up, tow you back, bring some fuel, whatever the situation requires. There are three very affordable levels of membership, and you can find all of the details on their new website at Carvethsmarina.ca.
