British Columbia offers some of the best cruising in the world, and Boat Show at the Creek presents quality products and services that boaters have come to expect as well as more choices for improving their lifestyle on the water,” says Donny Mekilok, General Manager of the Squamish Nation Marine Group, which owns and operates The Creek Marina, Boat Show at The Creek, and other marine properties and services for the Squamish Nation.
