1000 Islands Poker Run

The 1000 Islands Poker Run was a huge success this year, packing Blockhouse Island for the better part of the day on Saturday.  Several thousand spectators got their fill of roaring engines and beautiful boats with over 70 vessels participating this year.  The event has typically brought in close to 10,000 spectators and this year the numbers seemed even higher than usual.

‘Mentoring Matters’ to RBC
