JOIN THE MEGA CLEAN
Saturday mornings:  May 31 and July 12  Time: 9:45 AM – 1:00 PM
Cherry Beach & Tommy Thompson Park Shoreline Cleanup is partnering with Don’t Mess with the Don for waterway clean up too! 

Water Rats club member Anna Hoad is representing Toronto Nature Stewards now so we thought it would be great to have a bold event that connects the outer harbour areas to take action on litter.  

If anyone wants to join the shoreline clean up they are welcome to; either land based or in their own kayak or canoe.

CAT RACING AND SOCIAL AT JTOWN: MAY 18
Please join us for the first cat race practice of the year on May 18 at 3 PM on land at St. James Town Sailing Club or on the water in the Harbour!

A sausage(upwind/downwind) course will be set in the area, depending on the direction of the wind, between TMCC and Eastern Gap. There is no sign up (drop-ins are welcome) and we do not keep score.

The session is kicked off with a sailors' meeting and an on-land briefing at St. James Town Sailing Club. It continues on the water in the Harbour between 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM, and is wrapped up with a social debrief on land at St. James Town Sailing Club around 6 PM. Please bring a race watch and BYOB! 

This is a voluntary, community driven race practice session, built by our cat sailing friends at St. James Town Sailing Club and Westwood Sailing Club. St. James Town Sailing Club will be setting the course this time. If you are interested in volunteering and setting the course for future race practice sessions, taking place every other Sunday, please contact Beata Sejane at cat@sailtoronto.com.
