2022 was an excellent year for OBMG, and one of the highlights came when we were named one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures by Waterstone Human Capital. Regarding recognition, Marty Parker, President and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital, stated, “Corporate culture drives performance and is an organization’s greatest asset. The 2022 award recipients demonstrate that putting culture at the center of strategy drives growth and accelerates performance. This year’s winners are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and their focus on employee engagement and culture measurement is driving extraordinary results.” In addition to Waterstone, OBMG was also recognized by Boating Industry Canada (Employer of Choice Award), Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce (Sustainable Business Practices Award), and Ripley’s Entertainment (Franchise of the Year, Newport, Oregon). While the recent recognition was much appreciated and flattering, we’re striving for even more accomplishments in 2023! Brook Castelsky, CEO of Oak Bay Marine Group, shares: “The timing of this recognition could not be more meaningful as we reach our 60th year. We have an engaged team of leaders and crew who have worked hard over the past couple of years. We are incredibly proud of the culture that has been developed and shaped by our crew–they live our values each and every day and represent the OBMG culture.”
