Join us for our annual Open house this weekend, Sunday June 2nd, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. It’s a great opportunity for anyone who is curious about sailing, or interested in learning about our club’s facilities, our Youth Sailing Summer Camp, or who may be interested in taking sailing lessons themselves. Please come out and go for a sail with our members. Some refreshments/light lunch will be provided. Learn why sailing is such an enjoyable and environmentally friendly sport! See also our Facebook event.

The task list from last year’s Club Opening can be displayed or downloaded from this link:

Stephen will bring an updated task list to this year’s opening, and if we can post it here before Saturday we will.

We are now both accepting and issuing Interac E-transfers as our preferred method of payment.

When renewing your membership, registering for lessons or for an event, just pick Cheque as your payment method. Then log into your online banking and:

1. set up a new payee in your bank’s Interac E-transfer section, with the recipient set to:
   treasury@kwsailing.org
   It may not matter what ‘Name/Description’ you give it, but please make sure that the Email address is correct. Note that your bank should recognize that we have enabled automatic deposit, so no password or security question should be requested or required.
2. Create an Interac e-Transfer Send request for the required amount to your newly created recipient. Make sure to specify a ‘Message’ that makes it clear what you are paying for, including class or event name, or membership class, and Name or Email address specified in registration if different from your banking info.
3. Take a moment to double check all details, then Confirm/Send payment.

Please note: because auto-deposit is enabled, as soon as you hit “Send” your money is gone, so make sure everything is correct before sending! (the only way to fix an error is for us to send money back)

Feel free to Email our treasurer at the above address if you have any questions.

Welcome to our revamped web site! We are still actively working on polishing it up, so if you find something that isn’t quite right, either try back in a week or so, or let us know at information@kwsailing.org.
