President’s Letter – October 2018

What a lovely hot summer it was! It seems to me that the wind was controlled – definitely on  the day of our annual picnic and regatta when we had sun and a beautiful light breeze.  There was the one dark spot with the fire Parry Sound 33 just north of us. I hope the rebuilding goes well.

Now we have to get ready for winter emptying planters, putting away deck furniture, turning off the water and saying a prayer that the docks hang in over the winter.  It is a bit sad even with the beautiful changing colours of the leaves. From what I have seen, I think it will be a spectacular display this year.

There were some notable event this year. Our AGM was held in the council chambers and we said farewell to Alex Davidson as he retired from the WCA Board after more than 20 years.  We thank him for his years of service and although we are sad to see him go, we know he will continue to be a strong supporter of the Association.

Our picnic was fun and the biosphere joint event was excellent and informative.  You can read more about these in the articles in this issue.

Over the winter we will be meeting by conference call to ensure we have some interesting opportunities and events for you next summer.

Have a great winter.  I am already thinking about spring.

All the best , Pam
