In 2025, there were 25 Blue Flag sites in Canada, including 16 beaches and 9 marinas.
“Receiving Blue Flag Designation is a proud moment for Trent Port Marina and the Quinte West community,” said Andrew Belej, Supervisor of Trent Port Marina. “We are committed to providing an exceptional experience for boaters and visitors, while continuing to protect and enhance the natural beauty of the shoreline.”
The 2026 Trent Port Marina boating season opened May 1. A limited number of seasonal and transient slips are still available to boaters looking to make the marina their home port this summer. Learn more at trentportmarina.ca.
