Thanks for offering to help Meridy! Would you mind emailing Calvin as he is the main coordinator for the event.
See you then!
Rob McIntyresounds like you are sorted, but I have a couple if needed

Meridy BlackThank you so much Lynda! I will make a note to remind your husband closer to the course date.
Lynda FroeseHi Melody,
I have a helmet that should fit you. My husband Don is the assistant leader for the course, so he can bring it (you should check in with him closer to the date to remind him).
Meridy BlackHi club members,
I am wondering if someone might have a paddling helmet to lend me for the currents course from June 12-14th? I need a size S/M helmet. I don’t paddle whitewater so haven’t purchased a helmet as part of my regular paddling gear. Thanks for your consideration.
Meridy
Quirine SchuyffDo put yourself on the waitlist. If there is still a lot of interest there is a CHANCE that another session may be planned. That is dependent on volunteer availability also.
I know of at least one other person on the waitlist currently.Sandra WaddleI did this course in uklulet – worth the trip!

Yekaterina YushmanovaDeep Cove has great instructors and rentals are available.

Steven McLeanThanks for the heads up, Don! I will check them out.
Don FroeseHi Steven: try Jericho Beach kayak or deep Cove kayak for lessons. You should be able to rent a boat from either too
Cheers, Don Froese
Steven McLeanHello,
I am a new SKABC member interested in taking an introductory course to sea kayaking safety. Regrettably, the current Beginner Course coincides with me being out of town, otherwise I’d sign up for the waitlist.
Are there similar courses elsewhere that SKABC members may recommend? I do not have a kayak of my own, so bonus points if rentals are available from the business/organization offering training.
Thank you,
Steven M.
