Volunteer Bartender Meetup
This is a special and important Volunteer Bartender’s Meetup. Chris Pottie will be meeting us at 5:30pm. He is a Compliance Officer with Alcohol Gaming Fuel and Tobacco. He will conduct a staff instruction and conditions review. This is a great opportunity for all of the Volunteer Bartenders to attend and ask questions. If you are interested in joining the roster, then this is also a great night to attend.
Following the meeting with Mr. Pottie, we will discuss proposals for our next fundraiser. We need at least 40% of the current roster present to make a decision..

Spring Fling Regatta
This competition is part of Sail Canada Canadian Sailing Team (CST) and Canadian Sailing Development Squad (CSDS) Integration Camp held at St. Margaret Sailing Club (SMSC).

At the end of the day, all participants come together for debriefings and as much of the on-water sessions as possible. These camps will then leave athletes with an appreciation for the level and standard of professionalism to which CST & CSDS are held.
