English Bay Safety Seminar: Tue, Sept. 13th
FREE Shipwreck Repellent …
The English Bay Safety Seminar was developed for users of the Jericho Sailing Centre to help keep them safe at play on the waters of English Bay. The seminar covers basic water safety fundamentals along with user specific information drawn from the logs of the Jericho Rescue Team who have intervened in thousands of “sea disasters” over the past 37 years.
Why make your own mistakes when you can learn from the mistakes of others? Don’t challenge Darwin’s theory; make sure your water safety knowledge is the fittest it can be. Your survival may well depend upon it. Find the missing links and fill in the gaps in your water safety knowledge by attending a FREE English Bay Safety Seminar on Tues, September 13th at 1900H. RSVP ONLY, JSCA office.

Best part of Summer Still to Come
Three quarters of the month of September occurs in the summer season. Despite that fact some regular Jericho Beach users traditionally go into maritime hibernation following the Labour Day weekend-but wait, don’t put that boat away just yet. September is often the best month for ocean activity in Vancouver. The transition of seasons from summer to fall brings a bountiful harvest of ……

Rainy Day Recreation Suits Vancouver Perfectly
When tennis balls reach their fuzz saturation point and fling sprinkler bursts spiraling from their soggy smashing wakes; when hard core golfers don hip waders to navigate their balls through hole water hazards; when jogging shoes slosh in squishy squashy rhythm and grass field users lose all of their traction; when even the most hardened cyclists dread the water ski wake of passing cars; whenever Vancouver gets rinsed by relentless rain, from deep within the very nature of Vancouver, ocean sports swell and rise to the occasion.
At the top of the 
short list of outdoor recreation lessons that don’t get cancelled in the rain, ocean kayaking, windsurfing, dinghy sailing, skim boarding and stand-up paddling are all at the peak of poor weather high performance. Dressed for the wettest possible conditions, bobbing on the briny, a little precipitation just means you shower as you go.

The Continuing Evolution of Jericho Beach
Last Sunday, on the sunnier west side of Jericho Beach, a vision saw the light of day once again, and thousands of Vancouverites poured into the sea to rekindle a tradition that has existed since people first lived here.
MEC Paddlefest 2011, the third incarnation of this annual event held on west Jericho Beach, was the essence of what the people who dreamed up the idea of this unique public park space were dreaming of. Frolicking pods of kayakers, canoeists, outrigger canoeists, voyageur canoeists, surf skiers and stand-up paddlers were an impressive array of marine mammals engaging in play in English Bay from here: sea life, in Vancouver, was definitely thriving.
Jericho Beach Restoration Update
The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation approved a $1.2 million demolition contract for removal of the former Department of National Defence concrete apron known as the Jericho Wharf (above left). The project is expected to commence in early August and be completed by late September. Demolition will take place from both the water side and the land side. Steps will be taken to minimize disruption to park users and ensure public safety. We’ll likely see some sort of containment boom on the waterside to limit the possibility of boats drifting into the project area.

Jericho Rescue Team Donates Bike to Lifeguards
Locarno Life Bike
Members of the Jericho Rescue Team donated a bicycle to the Locarno Beach Lifeguard station on Sunday following their combined safety coverage of the Subaru Vancouver International Triathlon.
In the event of an emergency at one beach, lifeguards from other stations can provide essential back-up. The difference between “bicycle speed” and “foot speed” could be a matter of minutes and in a life and death situation might make all of the difference in the world.
