The GCBC Board of Directors met virtually on
Tuesday March 23 and would like to update all members on how the current COVID-19 situation affects your club.
As always, our goal is to provide a safe, active, and fun boating season
for all our members. We have been actively planning an ambitious season, including Learn to Sail,
Racing and
Co-op programs.
However, both the Government of Ontario and the Grand River Conservation
Authority have mandated that the club remain closed for a period of time – currently until
April 15. Currently, the club is set to officially open April
18.
The club intends to offer the best boating season possible that
acknowledgesboth the current situation
and the safety of our members. To that end, a working committee
has been tasked with keeping abreast of unfolding developments,
creatively responding to them, and keeping club members informed.
Your committee members are Mike Mahoney, John Booth, Julian Inglis, Richard
Green, and John Ryan. Updates will be posted here and emailed to members as needed and,as always,
members are welcome to contact membershipgcbc@gmail.com with
questions or concerns.
Though it may be from a distance, we plan to see you out on the water
this year.
We offer 5 separate week of sailing instruction for children ages 8-15. A range of levels will be taught based on ability.
THE CO-OP
The Co-op program allows you to use club boats if you don't own your own. It is also a great way to meet other members and enjoy the beautiful grounds.
RACING AT GCBC
Racing is the fastest way to hone your sailing skills and get to know the other members. Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level or experience.
CANOES & KAYAKS
The Guelph community Boating Club also offers Windsurfing, Canoeing, Kayaking and Rowing. Store your own craft with us or become a member and use one of ours!
