Barry Bezaire, founder, designer and owner of Extreme Interface kayaks on Vancouver Island, BC, knows that his business depends on a healthy marine environment. For the past several years, he has donated a new kayak to be used in the Georgia Strait Alliance’s annual raffle.

This charitable gift has resulted in over three times its value being raised annually to support the protection of British Columbia's shores and local waters.

Businesses frequently focus only on the bottom line of profit or loss. In the bigger picture, there are much more important ‘bottom lines’ that, in reality, sustain us. Without our air and water, our dollars won’t count for much. I feel very privileged to be able to help.
