Join us for this exciting presentation!

In 2023 Calem Watson from Saskatchewan canoed solo 3000 km across the Northwest Territories. He will be coming to VCKC to do a presentation about his adventure. He’ll be speaking about the why behind the journey, challenges, lessons learned, wildlife encounters, incredible fishing, spectacular scenery, awesome people he met along the way and more! More information can be found on his website: calemwatson.com

There will be a $10 admission fee and we are asking for everyone to pre-register for this prior to Sunday April 14, 2024 to ensure we have enough people coming.  Calem will be coming over from Vancouver to give the talk.

Come join us for the annual Spring Clean-up at the clubhouse.  Tasks include smartening up the outdoor spaces of the clubhouse, deck washing, BBQ cleaning, gutter cleaning, window washing and more. In addition we will be doing a thorough cleaning of the interior including meeting rooms, kitchen and storage areas.

We will also be making an effort to gather up abandoned member items from around the clubhouse and put them in a central area for reclamation.  Items such as: hats, gloves, shoes, boots or whatever isn't owned by VCKC.  If these items go unclaimed after 30 days we will donate or dispose of them.

More information to follow about what to bring.  If you have any questions, contact Gord Evans by email to:  clubhouse@vckc.ca

VCKC Executive Board meetings are held 7-9 pm, the second Tuesday of every month (except July, August), at the VCKC Clubhouse.

To put forward an item to be considered for the agenda, please email both president@vckc.ca and secretary@vckc.ca at least one week prior to the meeting.

We are very excited to announce that representative(s) from Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) - Oak Bay station will be our guest speaker this month!

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) is a not-for-profit volunteer-based organization that operates more than 30 marine rescue stations along the coast of British Columbia from Vancouver’s busy harbour to the remote waters of the North Coast. RCMSAR is a key part of the marine search and rescue (SAR) system, working in one of the most challenging search and rescue regions in the world. Our 900 volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to immediately respond to marine emergencies at a moment’s notice.

This will be an opportunity to meet in-person the people who cover us at Paddle for the Kids each year, and every day when we are out paddling in local waters.
