778 – 926- 6640Former MemberI understand you’re already being helped Theresa, but I wanted to share this with you anyway. Depending on which community you’re dealing with, most municipalities in BC are members of the Municipal Insurance Association of BC. This association offers a program to its members, to help the users of their facilities obtain insurance. This is a link to the site. So for most facilities I might want to rent in my own community, I can get an immediate quote that meets the coverage requirements of my municipality. I hope this may be of some help to you or SKABC. https://miabc.eventpolicy.ca/
Kallie CunninghamTheresa, I will follow up with you about our insurance directly.

Theresa DaviesMy local community centre pool will allow kayak rescue practice if I can produce Commercial General Liability Insurance – anyone know anything about this? Does the club have such a thing? Would be nice to take time to practice in the pool before heading to the ocean/lake, especially for beginners. Any ideas, thoughts?
Jayne HardyAnybody interested in going for a paddle before the BBQ on Monday? If you are call or email me. 604 521 0301 or jh99155@gmail.com.
Kallie CunninghamA quit announcement to say 2 spots have been added to this Sunday’s rescue and rolling practice session.
2 new days (July 23 and August 27) have been confirmed and registration will open soon.
Heather KirkI know you already know this but this s my official notice that I would like to join in on this.
Maureen BenzonHi Quirine,
I am alternating morning and evening. I take off every second Wednesday to paddle in the morning, and then paddle evenings on alternate weeks. It’s a 2 hour paddle, so on the water at 6.00 and off at 8.00. Then of course there is still the boats to load, so it is a late evening.
Let’s figure out some other time to paddle together.
It was beautiful out last night, and last Wednesday morning was unbelievably peaceful for Indian Arm
Former MemberToday’s paddle was really nice. It’s beautiful up there. @Quirine Doing it on a weekend would be great, but it’d be better to find a day with some clouds so there’s less speed boat traffic.
Former MemberVery good condition – some minor scratches due to regular use. Stored in garage.
Extremely stable and efficient kayak with rudder, bulkheads, lots of packing space for touring, and generous leg and foot room. We toured the coast with our kids using this boat and a Nootka Plus (also for sale!) starting when youngest was 3 and always felt safe. Boat handles extremely well with just one person paddling!
Blue deck and light grey hull. 22.5 feet long, 28 inches wide. Asking $3000, neoprene spray skirts included.
Former MemberHi Kevin, did you find someone? My friend also has one of these and is selling on FB market place but really just wants to give it to someone who will be able to make use of it for a small donation.
Nick HeathI have the opportunity through BC Marine Trails Coastal Caretaker initiative to paddle to W Ballenas (from Vancouver I) before it is open to the public. Currently it is owned and managed by the BC Parks Foundation and is expected to become a BC Marine Park in due course.
“Each (CC) volunteer is asked to commit to visiting Ballenas for one or two days between mid-June and the end of August. We ask volunteers to select a week that works best with their schedule and then to choose the best day or days during that week to visit West Ballenas. As one of the privileges of volunteering, Coastal Caretakers for West Ballenas Island may camp on the island overnight while carrying out their duties.” These duties are the VOICE points described by Karina Younk at last Monday’s meeting. As I understand, there is nothing onerous.
I’m thinking of 2-3 days (1-2 nights) some time between 19 – 25 June, weather-dependent. One or two companions would be nice. B3 paddling short distance about 3.5 NM, depending on chosen launch site.. Roughish camping.

Former MemberAll, there is still space in the June 11 (Sunday) Jericho paddle. We plan to launch at Jericho around 9am and to be back at Jericho around noon.
