Greetings to all! Hopefully, this notice will find everyone safe and in good health.
First of all, thanks to all of you for your support of the club by registering and and submitting your membership fees in light of the uncertainty we have been facing with this Covid19 outbreak. Your continued backing of our club is much appreciated as we weather this crisis together.
Many of you may be wondering what is happening, when we are going to start our season and how it is going to look. The health and safety of our membership is our top priority as we work to set things in motion once we are able. Unfortunately, we are still under the provincial social distancing mandate (with 5 or less people for a gathering) and must wait for the province to relax this. The City of Waterloo has also closed their facilities until June 30th and is now in the planning stages for opening some time in July.
Since that is over a month away and we can’t predict what will happen between now and then. We will keep you posted.
In light of all this, we have to cancel our canoe trips for the month of June. This also means that our June 16th Paradise Lake Fun Day has been cancelled for this year.
If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please use the comments section below this post. Please note that the membership list has also been updated, so please keep in touch with our fellow members.
Regards,
Eugene Marion, President
Thanks Eugene and by the way, Happy belated Birthday!
Thanks, Eugene for the update.
Hopefully we can get some good canoeing in later in the summer and early fall. For now we need to stay well until we can get this covid behind us. Cheers.
Just a thought that the club might consider as our regular trips are not appropriate at this time
Any four members with two cars could plan their own trip on the grand anywhere between Conestoga and Glen Moris
Roof top canoes
Log the trip with another member
Report back to that member on safe completion
Wear masks in the cars
Drop canoes and two people at the start
Shuttle one car to finish
Canoe down and shuttle first car to end
Pick up canoes and two people
Return canoes and report back safely
Best to set time limits
