Good day, everyone

An email has just gone out to potential CanSail 3/4 instructors from outside the community, for the month of August.

Please standby for an update.

Good news!

We have secured a 3/4 Instructor for Monday.
Those registered will be able to start their CanSail training on Monday at 9am.

For those waiting to be contacted:
We only have the 3/4 Instructor for the month of July.
I will be looking to see if there are gaps that can be filled in July, with August registrants.
I will be sending a mass email on Monday close to noon for 3/4 parents whether I can fill spots or not.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, CanSail 3 and 4 will have to be cancelled.

Parents and guardians will be called and emailed.

We very much apologize for this.

PSA to all:

Courses that are full are now closed.

The first batch of shirts for our athletes are in and sorted.
Parental units have been contacted for pick up.

The next batch of shirts will be next week so please keep an eye on your emails :)

We still have some room left in summer sailing school registrations.

Registrations for each week will close 2 weeks prior to the first day of class.

If you've been wanting to register your youth, please don't wait too long.

It will be an exciting summer!
