Past Commodore Thomas Kelm, [email protected], wrote to us with this update:
The Edmonton Yacht Club has been a longstanding member of Sail Canada through the Alberta Sailing Association (ASA). This allows us to offer Sail Canada recognized sailing instructions at our new sailing school. In order to give EYC more exposure at ASA, I have volunteered to join their executive on the board as secretary. I hope that with more direct involvement, we can find out what else ASA can do for us as a member club, to further our sailors that would like to compete in the sport at the provincial and maybe even national level.
I would also encourage everyone in the club that would like to know more to send me their questions or have them prepared at the AGM [Jan 26], when Stacy Gibb, the current ASA president will join our AGM to learn more about EYC and what our plans are.
This is a time when we as a club can look at the various options to grow the interest in the sport and with it our own membership numbers to ensure we stay viable and healthy for the next 100 years. (In case you have forgotten 2023 is our centennial!)
