A big thank you to all of those that made it a priority to show up at the AGM. Your show of support is greatly appreciated. 

Please log your Work or Pay hours for the AGM. If you performed other volunteer work, you can use this link to record your time as well.

Some boats and boat racks have been moved for this. Please don't move them before the cutting. 

The AGM is scheduled for Sunday November 19th, 2pm at the clubhouse.

Your attendance is very important, it gives you an opportunity to vote and influence how things are done at WRSC. 

It is with sadness that I announce that Julie will be stepping down from the executive.  She did a great job in her tenure on the board and will be missed!  

As a result, we are looking for a new member/volunteer to serve as our secretary for the 2018 season. If you are interested in helping us out on the board as our secretary please contact me.   

As in the past:

1.  If you attend the AGM you will receive 1 Work or Pay hour. 

2.  If you attend the AGM you will also receive 1 drink ticket that can be redeemed at the Christmas Party. 

Looking forward to seeing you at the AGM.  

Sincerely, 

Norm Lamb 
Chief Rat

The club will be closed for spraying as they missed some of the red ants the first time around. 

When:  Friday Sept 1 from 8am until 12 noon. 

Reminder:  BBQ Sept 14th

August BBQ Help Wanted
We still need 1 volunteer to help out on August 10 at 7pm. You will earn 3 work hours. Please let Yvonne know if you can help: ydk220@sympatico.ca

Parking
Please do not park near the racks at the south shore (near the dumpster). Please refrain from parking "on the hill". As a result of the high water we have had to move some kayaks/canoes and sailboats onto the lawn beside the clubhouse. At the moment there are two saw horses indicating the 'in and out' for that area. Please do not park in front of them. Thank you. 

Notice
If you have a canoe/kayak and you have not spoken with Sylvia about its location you are probably one of the stragglers. Please email sylvwin2@hotmail.com ASAP. 

Ants: Please be careful behind kayak rack #7 for now.

F18 Help Wanted
WRSC is hosting the F18 Canadian Championships, Sept 30/Oct 1. For this to be successful we need some volunteers. If you could help us out, please contact Jeff at: jgerrits609@gmail.com

Massive amounts of water is coming from upstream. The skies are clear but the lake is still rising. Lake level could rise by another 25 cm.

The water is very high on the harbour racks, up to the level of the lowest boats, higher when there are waves.

One of our members managed to pull in a kayak paddle that had floated away, but could not reach a paddle board.

The water is very cold. The Outer Harbour has been polluted from water draining into the Inner Harbour so please proceed with caution.
