annual stocking of the Conestoga river

Last year, several of our members participated in the annual stocking of the Conestoga River.  This year, the stocking will take place on May 8th and May 9th.  This is a rain or shine event, but in the event of high water may be cancelled as safety is paramount for volunteers.

Volunteers will be meeting on both days at the Macton access between 9:30 – 10:00 am to break into groups and receive instructions prior to the stocking tanker’s arrival. Total fish around 16,000.

Fish on Wed. the 8th will be all stocked with pails, while on Thurs. the 9th we will be using canoes and pails.  If you would like to participate, please let the organizer know.  His contact info is:  Brad Knarr.  His email is: rogue_wave@hotmail.com.  Since club canoes won’t be available May 9th because of the Hespeler Pond canoe trip, you would need to bring own.

What to bring: 1) a friend 2) camera 3) sunscreen 4) hat 5) sunglasses 6) weather appropriate clothing 7) boots, waders 8) snacks, beverages (water, pop will be supplied.

This is a rain or shine event, so please contact Brad if you plan on attending, which days,and if you can bring a canoe so he can get an idea of numbers for planning purposes. Last year, those who participated had a great time.

 

CELEBRATING SENIORS!

Hello OSSCC Members!

The OSSCC Board is happy to share some wonderful news!!

Our club was chosen by the City of Waterloo to be part  of a city initiative called “Celebrate Seniors“. This is a three part campaign featuring City of Waterloo senior groups that are actively contributing to the health and wellness of seniors in the Waterloo community.

Why? Because they want to showcase senior groups  that are making a difference.  As seniors, we are an integral part of the community with lots to contribute. By staying active, we maintain our overall health not just physically, but mentally and socially as well.  Our canoe club covers all aspects of this in spades, so lets give ourselves a big, collective pat on the back.

We are very pleased that our club was asked to participate in this campaign. Larry Martin and Pat Kalyn kindly volunteered to be our spokespeople and participated in a lovely interview/video which is now featured on the City of Waterloo “Celebrate Seniors” web page. You can check out the write up and  video here.  If you like it, leave a comment after the video!

Thanks again to Larry and Pat for representing us so well!!!!!!
