Today our guest speaker was Rod McVicar whose presentation was titled

'Harboring thoughts of putting the PORT back in Port Moody."

He talked about how different places around the world who have a waterfront and have taken advantage of that and built Marine Education Centers and floating classrooms that draws in millions of tourists to those communities. Rod has also opened a Marine Education center at Reed Point Marina

We all hope that Mayor Mike was paying attention and will get on that right away...
