Volunteers are the lifeline of our club. We can’t operate without them. Trip Organizers, towers, etc., and especially the Board of Directors (BOD), all require volunteers for the Club to function properly and remain viable. The future of the Club depends on you!
TRIP ORGANIZERS
To date, we have NO Trip Organizers for the following trips:
Tuesday, Sept. 7th
Thursday, Sept 9th
Thursday, Sept. 16th
As a result, they will be cancelled unless someone steps forward to organize. There are resources to help anyone who wants to lead at trip. Anne has the trip sheets and travelling directions ready to send to anyone who volunteers to lead a trip.
Since it took us until the end of July to get started this season, and we’ve had to cancel a couple of our Tuesday trips, it would be a shame if we had to cancel our September trips because we have no volunteers to run them! The season would be essentially over at that point.
Thanks in advance for your assistance in keeping our 2021 season alive !!
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
At this time, the BOD really needs a Secretary. We ask that you seriously consider this position. Your contribution would really be appreciated and the time commitment would be for our monthly BOD meetings (less July & December) and our annual general meeting. There are lots of resources available to help with the job.
We also have an opening for  a new Web Administrator. This is a fun position for anyone who enjoys computers. Carol is willing to work with whoever volunteers for the job until they are comfortable. She is preparing a manual for the handover and will stay on in an advisory/techie support capacity.
Due to covid restrictions, we are not able to hold an AGM at this time, however, if anyone would like to become a member of the Board, please contact a current member to express your interest. Members of the BOD will work with their successors to ensure a smooth transition so the Club can continue operating.

YEAR END CLEAN UP
At the end of every season, a day is planned to do an end of season clean up of our canoes and equipment to get them ready for next season so we start out with clean canoes (especially important for our pool training in the Spring). A date is yet to be determined (depending on when our canoe season ends), but if you can help, please contact Armand Martin at armandrmartin@gmail.com or call 226-899-6339
