REMINDERS
Shout out this week to our lifeguards and those on the water always keeping club members and the greater community safe! It is amazing to see how they work in cooperation, collaboration and provide mentoring at CBSC, especially between the pool guards, sailing staff, and our beach guards. We all share the common goal of making not just CBSC, but the community, safer and able to assist in a variety of circumstances. As we head into a busy BC long weekend, they will be extra busy keeping watch. Thank you!
