FCRCC Paddler,
Note: We are resending this due to reports that a number of people did not receive this email. If you have received this email previously we apologize.
We wanted to send out a few reminders at the beginning of the winter season:
1. Winter Paddling rules are now in effect (November 1st to April 1st). What does this mean?
a. PFDs must be worn at all times on the water, regardless of the type of boat you are in.
b. You must stay within 50 meters of the shore line.
c. You must paddle with others after dark.
d. You must remain in False Creek after dark, this means no boats past Burrard Street after dark.
e. Lights are mandatory for all after dark paddling regardless of where you are paddling.
These rules are for your safety, please respect them at all times. We do take these rules seriously and will deal with infractions as required.
2. Only a few days left and only a few tickets left to FCRCC’s “Say Good Bye to the 2004 and Hello to the 2005 Year” Party. Come celebrate what was last year and everything new this year. Come and thank the volunteers from 2004 for all their hard work. Tickets are only $5 with lost of cheap drinks and good times. Party is this Saturday, Nov 6th at the Granville Island Brewery.
