Dear Members,
We wish to advise you that given the current circumstances we will refund everyone fully for course cancellations (by SKABC) and course withdrawals (by Members).
Courses may be cancelled based on how the current situation unfolds. Some courses may go ahead if social distancing is possible and with precautionary requests/guidelines in place. That said, anyone wishing to withdraw from a course that is not cancelled, will receive a full refund. Attending a course is a decision that all member must make for themselves, and as usual we participate at our own risk. For more information please contact Chantal at chantalethier@msn.com.
Location: Panorama Park Shelter in Deep Cove, by the green-roof washroom on the North side of the Government wharf.
You will learn about different types of ropes and how to tie useful knots used while 
kayaking and kayak camping. You will learn to use the knots to set up various tarp configurations and how to hang a suspended food cache.
During the morning of this one-day session you will learn about different types of ropes 
and how to tie a number of useful knots used while kayaking and kayak camping. Time will be spent practicing tying these knots before an early lunch.

If time allows at the end of the tarp session, we will hang a suspended food cache.
