Ride the wild orca at the Jericho Sailing Centre all the way to the awarding of the Stanley Cup as the Vancouver Canucks attempt to make history and bring the cup back to our city for the first time since the Vancouver Millionaires did it in 1915. The Jericho Sailing Centre has 2 big screen HD TV’s (our Olympic Campground legacy) including a whale of a 120″ projection screen which will focus on all of the action. First two games are: June 1 @ 1700H; June 4 @ 1700H.
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 June 6 & 27. All times at 1900H RSVP JSCA office.

Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation staff has indicated that they have heard overwhelming public support for the natural restoration of Jericho Beach and are going back to the drawing board to evolve their concept plan for the site accordingly. 
The new concept will also recognize safe public recreational ocean access as an important consideration. Thank you to all of the people who have participated in the public consultation process to date. The revised concept plan is expected to be presented at a public meeting sometime in May. We will continue to monitor this situation and keep Jericho Sailing Centre users informed through “in the wind”.
ClubLocarno Commodore, Jennifer Weterings, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean earlier this year and after some arm twisting she’s finally agreed to give an informal presentation ….. more.
Here is what’s “in the wind”, coming events and items of interest at the Jericho Sailing Centre, Vancouver’s Ocean Access Community Centre, for April 4-13, 2011 and beyond:
The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is about to commence a Public Consultation process to develop a new conceptual design for the beach space about to be liberated. A public Open House event about the Jericho Marginal Wharf removal, beach restoration, and newly proposed upland area concept plans originally scheduled for April 6th has been changed to TUESDAY, APRIL 12 (5-8pm) at the Jericho Sailing Centre.
The Park Board is hosting this meeting to give all stakeholders (park patrons, neighbours, interest groups and the general public) an opportunity to find out about the project and to give feedback on the newly proposed concept plans.
Here is what’s “in the wind”, coming events and items of interest at the Jericho Sailing Centre, Vancouver’s Ocean Access Community Centre, for March 22-April 6, 2011 and beyond:
If you haven’t already paid your 2011 Jericho Sailing Centre Association fees, and by now most of you have, March 31 is time to either buck up or ship out sailor.
Payments received after April 1 will have to include a $30 Late Fee and any unpaid craft may be subject to immediate removal from its current location.
Vacating members are asked to notify the office when they are removing their craft so that we may bring members craft in from our waiting list.
If you’ve paid for your craft but it is not in the compound or it has been “shrink wrapped” for the winter please report to the JSCA office when the boat is available to be decaled.
By April 17 all craft stored in the Jericho Sailing Centre compound will either have a 2011 decal or will fly the Unpaid “flag of shame”.
