  3. Introduction

  4. Research Objectives • Measure & track awareness of safe boating messages communicated by the North American Safe Boating Awareness Week annual communication campaign • Identify how well specific campaign messages are being communicated, in the areas of “Wearing PFDs”, “drinking & boating”, “preparedness”, “cold water” and “boating training/education” • Identify who the campaign is reaching and opportunities to improve its reach & impact • Measure & track boating safety attitudes and behaviours among Canadian boaters, and how they have been affected by awareness of the NASBAW campaign messages.

  5. Research Methodology • National online survey as part of Ipsos Reid’s eNation weekly omnibus survey • Fieldwork conducted May 29 – June 3, 2013 • n = 1,221 Canadian adults, nationally representative of the Canadian population • Most Safe Boating Awareness Survey questions asked of n=454 subgroup of the Canadian population who participate in recreational boating activities at least occasionally • Including pleasure powerboating/cruising/waterskiing/wakeboarding, fishing from a boat, riding a personal watercraft, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, sailboarding/windsurfing &/or boating in other unpowered craft. • See separate Appendix for the survey questionnaire • On a sample size of 1,221, results are accurate 19 times out of 20 to within +/-3% • On a sample size of 454, results are accurate 19 times out of 20 to within +/-5% • Circles and squares are used throughout this report to indicate differences that are significant at the 95% confidence level. Differences that are “approaching significance” (80% confidence level) are indicated with dotted circles and squares • Solid arrows are used to indicate changes in 2013 vs prior wave 2012 results that are significant at the 95% level. Dotted arrows indicated changes that are “approaching significance.”

  6. Summary

  7. Summary of Key Findings • Boating Participation: • In 2013, 37% of Canadian adults participate in recreational boating activities. • Fishing, pleasure powerboating and canoeing are the most popular boating activities. • Boating participation lower in 2013 compared to prior years. • Decrease traces to slightly less participation in 2013 for both Powerboating and Non-powerboating activities. • Within Paddling, both canoeing and kayaking participation is down slightly in 2013. • This is the first decline in Boating participation since the post-recession dip in 2009.

  8. Summary of Key Findings • Awareness of Safe Boating Messages: • 2013 aided awareness of NASBAW boating safety campaign messages is in-line with previous years – still reaching over half of boaters (53%); unchanged from 2012, although not as high as 2010 peak. • Overall message awareness in 2013 unchanged from 2012 in most boating activity subgroups; down slightly amongst fishermen. • Higher message awareness in 2013 than 2012 in Atlantic Canada, and lower in Prairies region. • Awareness of specific boating safety messages in 2013 is in-line with previous years. • Highest awareness for “don’t drink and boat”, “wear your lifejacket” “get your PCOC” and “watch the weather”. • Riders of personal watercraft have highest awareness of “don’t drink & boat” message in 2013. Boat Drivers have highest awareness of “get your PCOC” message. • Awareness of “wear your lifejacket” message higher in 2013 vs 2012 amongst boaters 35-54 years of age. • No significant changes in subgroups’ awareness of “don’t drink & boat” message in 2013 vs 2012, except lower in Prairies region. • By age, higher awareness of “”don’t’ drink & boat” message among older boaters 55+ years of age than amongst younger boaters. • No significant changes in subgroups’ awareness of “get your PCOC” message in 2013 vs 2012, except lower in Prairies region. • Higher awareness of “get your PCOC” message in 2013 among older boaters 55+ years of age than amongst younger boaters; and lower amongst women than men

  9. Summary of Key Findings • Sources of Awareness of Safe Boating Messages: • Advertising, news coverage offline and posters are the top sources of safe boating messages that boaters recall. • TV and radio are highest sources of advertising awareness • TV ads higher among 35-54 years (38%) and 55+ years (48%) than 18-34 years (15%) • Radio ads higher among 35-54 years (21%) and 55+ years (28%) than 18-34 years (10%) • Newspaper (18%) and magazine (15%) ads higher among 55+ years than younger boaters. • Awareness of news coverage and posters skews to older boaters 55+ years. • Higher awareness of safe boating messages among boaters 55+ years sourced from news coverage (35%) , magazine articles (15%) and posters at marinas (24%), moresothan for younger boaters. • News coverage is higher source of awareness in Quebec (31%), Ontario (32%) and BC (34%) than in Atlantic Canada (9%) and Prairies (15%).

  10. Summary of Key Findings • Safe Boating Posters Awareness: • Low awareness of Fire Alarm poster; slightly higher for Canadian Tire poster. • No significant awareness differences for Fire Alarm poster, by region, gender or age • For Canadian Tire poster, higher awareness among men than women; no significant differences by region or age • No significant awareness differences for either poster by boating activity subgroups. • Stronger safe boating attitudes among boaters aware of Canadian Tire poster. • Desired Safe Boating Attitudes/Behaviours : • Stronger PFD, preparedness and boating education attitudes / behavioursin 2013. • Relatively strong interest in wearing inflatable PFDs.

  11. Summary of Key Findings • Wearing PFDs: • No significant changes from wave to wave, although slightly fewer boaters in 2013+2012 saying they “Always” wear a PFD, compared to 2008+2009+2010. • Top reasons boaters are not always wearing their PFD are beliefs that “I can put PFD on if I need to”, “I’m a good swimmer”, “I can put it on if I need to, as long as its in the boat”, and not wanting to wear PFDs because they are too hot or uncomfortable. • Rough water, and being out in a canoe or kayak, are the conditions that most motivate boaters to wear their PFDs; followed by cold water and being out in a small sailboat.
