Hello all,
It’s been a busy fall, and here in Ontario, an early start to winter. I have managed to see many of you at various events this fall and will be attending the International Workboat Show in New Orleans next week so please reach out if you or your team will be attending as I would love to connect while there.
Now that we are all out and about again at meetings and conferences, we are also acquiring new members who see value in being part of a national association. In lieu of a Member Spotlight in this edition, we’ve included some information about our newest members. It’s been a real pleasure to meet so many of you, and a huge welcome to our newcomers. And if you are not yet a member, but would like to be, we encourage you to sign up here!
A gentle reminder to make sure that you take two minutes to complete and return our CMISA EVENTS SURVEY. We need your input! A link to the fillable-PDF form can be found here:

If you are reading On Watch for the first time thanks to it being passed along to you, you are welcome to sign up for future editions here – it’s free and we never share your emails with anyone. We publish our newsletter every two weeks and bring you news, procurement opportunities and features that pertain to our sector. Please take note of our Job Board and a) take advantage of it if your company has an opening and b) send links to friends and family so that we can attract new people into our sector. We all need the help!
