Do you HUNT or FISH using a BOAT?

[MARIN Research]

Have you used a BOAT at least once within the past year to go HUNTING or FISHING?

We are working on a university research project called “Boating Safety for Anglers & Hunters: A Survey of Practices & Perceptions”. We’re hoping to hear from a number of Canadians through an online survey. In exchange for your time, we’ll enter your name in a draw to win one of several Canadian Tire gift cards. The survey takes about 15 minutes to do.

Alternatively, if you sign up for our one-on-one telephone interview, you will automatically be given a Canadian Tire gift card.

If you’re up for the challenge:

Feel free to spread the word, and thank you for your help with our research project!

Great Survey , just hope they dont track me down and give me a 1000 anoying phone calls at 6:00 while im feeding , or anytime for that matter . I do these surveys to give me support , but dont want to be bugged by them a 100 times a week .

How much is the gift-card for? I'd be interested in doing the one-on-one interview if the giftcard was a decent price.

No, why is there a "ringing" in your ears?

I do.......
This project is funded by the Office of Boating Safety, which is a division of Transport Canada
The more information they collect the easier they will be able to apply restrictions
I like things the way they are

The course doesn't feel like overkill in your case at all. I have heard of canoe accidents all the time. No time to make a decision when things are going that fast but at least now you can fall back on your training when you have only a minute or two or three to avoid the danger!

Over the next few weeks, we will be gradually shutting down our data collection. The survey will be closed as of April 4th, and interviews will no longer be scheduled after April 18th.

If you would like to participate before those dates you are welcome to do so. The gift cards are available until the closing dates: again, April 4th for the survey and April 18th for the interviews.

If you would like to receive a copy of our final report, we would be happy to send one to you via e-mail. More information can be found on our website: www.marin-research.ca

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has participated in our project. Your time and input are greatly appreciated, as our work would not have been possible without it.
